New Delhi: A special Air India flight brought 205 people, including six infants, from Dhaka to New Delhi on Wednesday morning, an official said. The chartered flight, which took off for the Bangladesh capital late Tuesday, was operated with an A321 neo aircraft. The flight brought back 205 people- 199 adults and six infants from Dhaka, news agency PTI reported.

Air India operated the flight, which took off from the national capital without any passengers, at a very short notice despite infrastructure challenges at the airport there, said the official in the know of the developments.

Air India will be commencing its scheduled operations, with two daily flights from the national capital to Dhaka on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Air India had cancelled its morning flight but operated the evening flight to Dhaka.

Vistara and IndiGo will also be operating their services to the Bangladesh capital as per schedule. Vistara operates daily flights from Mumbai and three weekly services from Delhi to Dhaka.
