US to resume Afghanistan evacuation flights before year’s end

The United States will resume evacuation flights from Afghanistan before the end of the year, reports said on Thursday.

The U.S. sponsored flights would help U.S. citizens, legal residents and some visa applicants. No date has been set for the flights to resume, reports said.

Representatives for the State Department did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

President Joe Biden’s administration has said its top priority is repatriating Americans and green card holders who could not leave Afghanistan in the U.S. evacuation operation in August.
