Air India has announced the suspension of its direct flights from New Delhi to Tel Aviv until May 31 due to rising tensions and security concerns in the West Asia region. This decision, confirmed by an Air India official, is a precautionary measure in response to the volatile situation. The suspension affects travelers, particularly Indian nationals currently in Israel, who are now seeking alternative routes through neighboring countries like Jordan and Egypt. In response, the Indian Embassy in Tel Aviv has set up emergency support systems, including a 24×7 helpline, to assist those impacted. This move aligns with a broader trend, as several international airlines have also suspended flights to Israel amid the ongoing conflict, with only limited operations by select Israeli carriers continuing under strict conditions. Air India stated that it is closely monitoring the situation and will resume services once it is safe to do so.
