Direct India-Israel Flights Resume
Air India plans to resume direct Delhi-Tel Aviv flights starting December first.
Anonymous
Air India plans to resume nonstop service between Delhi and Tel Aviv on December 1, with five weekly flights, restoring the only direct air link between India and Israel. The route is expected to make travel easier for visitors from both countries and offer onward connections from Delhi. The restart follows repeated suspensions amid regional conflict and security concerns, including a previous postponement, so the service’s return remains subject to conditions on the ground.
Key Points
1
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Israel received nearly 70,000 visitors from India annually, and Israel’s tourism ministry described India as an important source market.
2
The service is scheduled to use Boeing 777 aircraft, with Delhi-to-Tel Aviv flight AI139 departing at 5 a.m. and arriving at 8:30 a.m.
3
Air India’s May 2025 suspension followed a Houthi missile strike that hit the grounds of Ben Gurion Airport.
