Air India was scheduled to operate the Delhi-Dhaka flight in the evening.
"Due to closure of Dhaka airport for all flight operations, flight AI237 scheduled to operate from Delhi to <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/bangladesh-fire-breaks-out-at-dhaka-airport-flights-suspended-23599265" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Dhaka</a> on 18 October has been delayed.
