Air India on Sunday said it has not cancelled its scheduled flights to Kabul as of now. "We are monitoring the situation and as of now continuing with our scheduled flights to Kabul," a spokesperson of the carrier said on Sunday, refuting reports that it has cancelled all flights in the wake of the crisis in Kabul. As Afghanistan is on the brink of surrendering to the Taliban after the insurgent group entered Kabul on Sunday, an Air India flight landed on Kabul in the afternoon. But this is not the last flight to Kabul, as Air India has not yet cancelled its scheduled flights, the spokesperson said. An Emirates flight from Dubai returned to Dubai instead of landing on Sunday as Taliban militants encircled the city.
