In a post on X, the airline said, “We are continuously monitoring the situation and are extending support to our passengers who have confirmed bookings for travel to and from Tel Aviv during this period, with a one-time waiver on rescheduling and cancellation charges.” Air India added that the safety of its guests and crew remains the airline’s topmost priority.
Earlier, the flight suspension by Air India to Tel Aviv was until April 20, which was then extended until April 30. However, after alleged fresh air strikes by Israel on Iran, Air India decided to extend the suspension of flights until April 30, which has been further extended until May 15. Air India has three weekly flights to and from Tel Aviv.
Air India on April 14 had temporarily suspended flights to Tel Aviv amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.
The airline operates four weekly flights between the national capital and Israeli city. The Tata group-owned carrier recommenced services to Tel Aviv on March 3 after a gap of nearly five months.
