Air India Suspends Tel Aviv Flights Indefinitely Amid Rising Middle East Tensions

Air India announced on Friday the suspension of its flights to and from Tel Aviv, effective immediately, until further notice amid the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. The decision was made in response to the current situation in the region. Air India stated that it is continuously monitoring the situation and prioritizing the safety of its guests and crew.

“In view of the current situation in parts of the Middle East, scheduled operations of our flights to and from Tel Aviv are suspended with immediate effect until further notice,” Air India said in a post on X. “We are continuously monitoring the situation and are offering a full refund to our passengers with confirmed bookings for travel to and from Tel Aviv. The safety of our guests and crew remains our topmost priority,” the airline added.

Earlier, Air India had announced on August 2 that it would suspend its services to Tel Aviv until August 8 in response to the heightening tensions in the Middle East. In a post on X, Air India said, “In view of the ongoing situation in parts of the Middle East, we have suspended scheduled operations of our flights to and from Tel Aviv with immediate effect up to and including August 8.” “We are continuously monitoring the situation and are extending support to our passengers with confirmed bookings for travel to and from Tel Aviv during this period, with a one-time waiver on rescheduling and cancellation charges. The safety of our guests and crew remains our foremost priority,” the airline added.

Tensions have been heightened in the Middle East since the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh on July 31 in Iran, allegedly by Israeli forces.
