"The first flight carrying 41 people, French and nationals of other countries, arrives at Roissy Charles-De-Gaulle airport in the late afternoon today," it said.

In addition, Afghans who wish to remain on French soil for a longer term will receive financial support, as well as assistance with their asylum applications and integration, the ministry said.
