Excellent question. We're not. The plan has been to replace these aircraft with other more capable aircraft. They were purchased to start the airline.
Another big issue with this aircraft is high / hot. Kabul is almost 6000 feet elevation in very mountainous terrain. Loads will be adjusted accordingly.
Final big issue is relatively long distances to the alternate (common third world issue) requiring extra fuel.
