(CNN) A second Qatar Airways passenger flight, which arrived in Afghanistan on Friday, has now departed for Doha from Kabul Airport, a day after more than 100 foreign nationals left on another plane with the Taliban's approval.
Friday's flight was carrying 158 passengers, including US, German, Canadian, French, Dutch, British, Belgian and Mauritanian nationals, a Qatari official said.
The passengers will land in the Qatari capital at 8 p.m. (1 p.m. ET) and be transported to the compound facility currently hosting Afghans and other evacuees.
Earlier on Friday, the aircraft was seen landing in Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport on Qatari-funded Al Jazeera Arabic television, and aid was seen being unloaded before passengers boarded the plane.

This is the second flight since yesterday.
So much for Biden "abandoning" Afghans and Americans in Afghanistan.
These flights will probably continue for weeks or until all are evacuated. Will republicans acknowledge this?

Whether they do or not, Biden is holding to his promise of bringing home anyone that wants to leave. I say good job.
