Air India announced its plans to restart flight operations between Delhi and Tel Aviv, with services set to resume on May 16, 2024. The decision comes after a temporary suspension of flights due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East.

Initially suspended until April 30, Air India later extended the suspension of Tel Aviv flights until May 15. However, the airline has now confirmed the resumption of services, offering five weekly flights between Delhi and Tel Aviv starting May 16.

This move marks the return of Air India’s connectivity to the Israeli city after nearly five months, following the recommencement of services on March 3. Despite lingering tensions in the region, Air India remains committed to providing essential travel links between Delhi and Tel Aviv.
