August 17, 2021: -Several airlines are rerouting their flights to avoid Afghanistan airspace after Taliban fighters sealed their takeover of the country, and U.S. and Western officials scrambled to evacuate their personnel.
Afghanistan aviation officials said air traffic control was handed over to the military and that planes will be “flying in uncontrolled airspace at their own risk,” according to a notice to pilots.
On Sunday, United Airlines started rerouting its U.S.-India flights around Afghanistan.
“Due to the dynamic nature of the situation, we have begun routing affected flights around Afghanistan airspace,” the airline said in a statement. The carrier serves Delhi from its Newark Liberty International Airport hub daily and five times a week from Chicago O’Hare International Airport. It also flies from Newark to Mumbai every day. The flights are among its longest routes.
British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, and Singapore Airlines also said their flights are avoiding Afghanistan airspace.
United said it “will continue to work closely” with the Federal Aviation Administration and the International Air Transport Association “to evaluate the situation and determine how we continue service to markets impacted.”
United is the only major U.S. passenger airline currently flying nonstop to India.
The FAA on July 25 prohibited U.S. airlines from overflying Afghanistan air space below 26,000 feet, which is lower than cruising altitude for such long flights, “due to the risk posed by extremist/militant activity and limited risk mitigation capabilities.”
A United spokeswoman said the decision to route around Afghanistan on Sunday was it’s own.
Flydubai and Emirates airlines said they suspended flights to Kabul.
“Customers holding tickets with final destination to Kabul will not be accepted for travel at their point of origin,” Emirates said, directing customers to reach out to the carrier or travel agents.
Earlier Sunday, Emirates Flight EK640, a Boeing 777-300, returned to Dubai after Kabul. The U.S. Embassy in Kabul warned of reports of the fire at the airport.
The U.S. State Department late Sunday said it was working to secure Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport to evacuate U.S. personnel, local employees, their families, and “other particularly vulnerable Afghan nationals” from the country using civilian and military flights.
Thousands of Afghans desperately trying to flee the country swarmed the airport.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
