Many expats who work here are making contingency evacuation plans - should the need arise. It's February 2011 all over again!
I helped a friend book an award trip from NY to Australia via among other places CAI. He had a nice stopover on the way there a week and a half ago but is coming back this weekend and has a connection in CAI again. He is not planing on leaving the airport but I wonder will MS keep flying? Did they in 2011? I recall reading about evacuation flights at during that time to Europe.
