Air India canceled its morning flight to Dhaka on Tuesday, according to an airline spokesperson. The company will decide later in the day whether to proceed with its evening trip to the capital of Bangladesh. The airline is scheduled to run two daily flights from Delhi to Dhaka.

A representative for Air India said in a statement on Monday, "We are closely observing the situation and providing assistance to our passengers who have confirmed reservations for travel to and from Dhaka with a one-time waiver on rescheduling and cancellation penalties.
