Biden Administration Looks To Marshal Airlines For Afghanistan Evacuation
The Biden Administration is looking to activate the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) to assist with the evacuation of Afghanistan. With the military evacuations continuing in earnest, there are more people than seats available on planes to evacuate key personnel and other evacuees from Afghanistan. As a result, US officials are looking to marshal commercial aircraft to assist in the evacuation. (simpleflying.com) Mais...

a bit troubling from the newer post is this statement --
".. that the Pentagon plans to temporarily house Afghans arriving in the U.S. at the Dulles Expo Center in Washington, D.C. before being transported to locations including Fort Lee, Virginia; Fort Bliss, Texas; and Fort McCoy, Wisconsin."

Certainly allies are welcome but the chaos engendered by the precipitous pullout provides a far greater security threat.
Saw last week they had already brought some to Ft Belvoir
Delta Airlines A350 already in route to FRA. N504DN
Civilian planes would not fly into or out of Kabul, where a rapidly deteriorating security situation has hampered evacuation flights. Instead, commercial airline pilots and crews would help transport thousands of Afghans who are arriving at U.S. bases in Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates which have become bottlenecks
