In response to the growing tensions between Israel and Iran, Air India has decided to temporarily halt its flights to Tel Aviv. This move comes as the situation in the region becomes increasingly uncertain.
An official statement from the airline confirmed that direct flights between Delhi and Tel Aviv will be put on hold for the time being. Air India typically operates four flights per week between the Bharatiya capital and the Israeli city.
This suspension follows a recent escalation in tensions between the two countries. The decision to suspend flights comes after a period of resumed service. Air India had only just resumed its flights to Tel Aviv on March 3 after a hiatus of nearly five months.
The Tata group-owned carrier had previously suspended flights to and from Tel Aviv on October 7, 2023, following an attack by Hamas on the Israeli city. The decision to suspend services once again underscores the airline’s commitment to prioritizing the safety and security of its passengers amidst the current situation.
Passengers who had booked flights during this period are advised to contact Air India for further information and assistance. The airline assures its customers that it is closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as necessary.
As tensions continue to simmer in the region, Air India’s decision highlights the challenges faced by airlines operating in politically sensitive areas. Stay tuned for further developments on this story as it unfolds.
