Executive Vice President Tryco:
Doris L. run the operative fuel and helicopter-transport business in Afghanistan. She is a lady from Austria. Background: Tryco International, Inc. is a 22 year old company, with offices in the United States, Afghanistan, Croatia and Saudi Arabia. The firm was under contract with the United States Government, Defense Logistics Agency.

1. Since July 2008 is a pending courtcase against Fluor Intl. (California. Inc., USA). Fluor subcontracted Tryco to airlift its employees in Afghanistan with choppers. A Tryco helicopters crashed. It was stated, that Tryco was an unsafe company that utilized inadequately equipped and maintained aircraft that did not meet Fluor’s own aviation standards.

2. Dr. Atash, a former President of Ariana Afghan Airways reports about Tryco: Dr. Atash and his team calculated the price per ticket for Haaj pilgrims would have to increase to approximately $1050/person. Ariana’s fuel supply was controlled by Tryco, an American company with a tainted reputation, who increased fuel costs to Ariana, but was late in deliveries. One day, a Tryco employee came into Dr. Atash’s office and offered him a cut of the deal if Dr. Atash did not bid the fuel supply contract to the open market and continued using Tryco as Ariana’s fuel supplier. Tryco had been supplying fuel to Ariana prior to Dr. Atash’s post. Dr. Atash immediately refused his bribe , and ordered him to leave his office. Angered by Dr. Atash’s refusal, the Tryco employee turned to Dr. Atash and said, “You think you know people. Now you will see who I know.” Unphased by this threat, Dr. Atash presented his findings regarding the Hajj ticket prices to President Karzai, in the presence of the then Minister Qasimi of Transport and the Minister of Hajj. President Karzai ordered Dr. Atash to charge $850/ticket for each pilgrim. Both Dr. Atash and Minister Qasimi warned that this was below the cost of the service and would lead to losses for Ariana. However, President Karzai did not change his mandate. Dr. Atash complied, and although the Haaj operation was a huge success in terms of operations, the airlines experienced the losses in revenues from the ticket prices that Dr. Atash had warned. Rather than thanking Dr. Atash for the first successful Hajj operation by Afghanistan in many years, he was blamed for the loss in revenues.
