Bangladesh unrest: Air India to resume evening flights to Dhaka, one-time waiver offered to passengers

Tata Group-owned Air India has stated it’s going to function its night flights AI237 and AI238 on the Delhi-Dhaka-Delhi route on Tuesday and can supply a one-time waiver to passengers for rescheduling flights. On Monday, Air India and IndiGo had cancelled scheduled flights to and from Dhaka with quick impact on account of unrest in Bangladesh after its PM Sheikh Hasina resigned on account of anti-government protests. 

“As a result of prevailing scenario in Dhaka, Air India is providing a one-time waiver on rescheduling to prospects, with confirmed bookings on any Air India flight to and from Dhaka between 4th and seventh August 2024, in the event that they need to take action,” stated Air India in a put up on X (previously Twitter).

“The tickets must be booked on or previous to fifth August. We want to reiterate that at Air India, the protection of our prospects and crew stays prime precedence.
