IndiGo, Vistara and Air India Suspended Flights to Dhaka Amidst Political Turmoil
Air India and IndiGo have suspended all their flights to and from Dhaka. The move comes given the developing situation after Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation amid unprecedented anti-government protests.
Air India runs two daily services from Delhi to Dhaka, IndiGo flies to Dhaka from Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata, while Vistara runs daily flights from Mumbai and three weekly services from Delhi to the Bangladesh capital. However, the exact number of flights must be verified after some time.
In an official statement on Monday, Air India said, “In view of the emerging situation in Bangladesh, we have cancelled the scheduled operation of our flights to and from Dhaka with immediate effect. We are continuously monitoring the situation and are extending support to our passengers with confirmed bookings for travel to and from Dhaka with a one-time waiver on rescheduling and cancellation charges. Safety of our guests and crew remains our foremost priority.”
IndiGo also posted an update on X (formerly Twitter): “In view of the ongoing situation in Dhaka, all flights scheduled for tomorrow have unfortunately been cancelled. We understand that this may cause significant inconvenience and disruption to your travel plans and we sincerely regret this development. “
