Which airlines started flights to Dhaka during the Bangladesh crisis?

Airlines like Indigo, Vistara and Air India have resumed their flights to Dhaka in the midst of unrest caused by political affairs in Bangladesh. 

The political upheaval started due to the involvement of a quota system in education rather than preferring to merit students, which has led to massive unrest throughout the country. The protests of students from Dhaka University resulted in the Bangladesh government's resignation of Sheikh Hasina, the country's prime minister. This has led to unrest throughout the country and the cancellation of inbound and outbound flights. 

However, on 07-08-2024, airline companies like Air India, Indigo, and Vistsra presumed their flights. Also, these airlines are levying off the rescheduling fees and are allowing free accommodation on the available flights. 

Air India operated its flight on Tuesday, 06-08-2024, in the evening, canceling the flight which has been scheduled in the morning.
