Commercial Flights Stopped

India has asked its nationals to leave Afghanistan today on a "special flight" from Mazar-i-Sharif - the country's fourth largest city - amid intense fighting with the Taliban.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Saturday issued a circular suspending domestic and international commercial flight operations till May 17 after the Home Ministry extended the ongoing lockdown for two more weeks beyond May 3.

K-9s, felines . . . and now, peacocks. Airlines that have begun talking about tightening restrictions on a proliferating array of "emotional support" animals on commercial flights may have found their case bolstered this week after a picture of a peacock that was reportedly denied a seat aboard a United Airlines flight traveled far and wide.

The world's longest nonstop commercial flight ended without fanfare on Monday after Singapore Airlines (SIA) flew its last nearly 19-hour service from New York.
