For travelers who have confirmed reservations for travel to and from Tel Aviv during this time, the airline is waiving one-time fees for rescheduling and cancellation.

The airline made the decision to temporarily halt its flights to Tel Aviv on Sunday.

Middle East tensions have increased as a result of Iran’s strikes on Israel and the subsequent reaction.

After almost five months, the carrier operated by the Tata group resumed service to the Israeli city on March 3.

Following the attack on the Israeli city by the Hamas group, on October 7, 2023, Air India ceased operating flights to and from Tel Aviv.
