For its part, the administration of US President Joe Biden is considering inviting US commercial airlines to provide planes and crews, to help transport Afghan refugees once they are evacuated from their country by military aircraft.
The US Transportation Command said in a statement Saturday that the Pentagon has not approved or ordered any activation of the role of commercial airlines as permitted under the “Civilian Air Reserve Fleet” program, which adds support to the capacity of military aircraft during crises related to national defense.
However, the Transportation Command said it issued a warning order to US airlines, Friday evening, about the potential activation of the program.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on the activation of the Air Fleet Program.
If requested under the voluntary program, commercial airlines will fly evacuees from areas outside Afghanistan to another country or from Dulles International Airport in Virginia to US military bases.
