Air India Temporarily Suspends Flights To Tel Aviv Amid Tensions With Iran

Amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran, Air India has opted to temporarily halt flights to Tel Aviv. The airline declared that direct flights connecting Delhi and Tel Aviv will be paused until further notice. 

Air India usually operates four weekly flights linking the Indian capital with the Israeli city. However, given the prevailing circumstances, the decision to suspend these flights has been made. 

This move comes after a recent resumption of services to Tel Aviv on 3 March by the Tata group-owned carrier. This resumption followed a pause of nearly five months, with flights to and from Tel Aviv suspended since 7 October 2023, in the aftermath of a Hamas attack on the Israeli city.
