Air India Suspends Flights to and from Israel Amid Heightened Tensions

Air India, one of India’s prominent airlines, has chosen to suspend its flights to and from Israel until October 14th, as reported by ANI. 

This move comes in the wake of increased tensions between Israel and Palestine that have escalated since Saturday.

Air India’s Statement:

A spokesperson for Air India issued a statement explaining the reason behind the suspension: “Air India flights to and from Tel Aviv, Israel will remain suspended till October 14th, for the safety of our passengers and crew. 

Air India will extend all possible support to passengers who have confirmed bookings on any flight during this period.”

Flight Cancellations:

In response to the growing tensions, Air India had already taken action by canceling two flights. One was scheduled from New Delhi to Tel Aviv, and the other from Tel Aviv to New Delhi.

The decision to suspend flights underscores the airline’s commitment to passenger safety and its response to the evolving geopolitical situation in the region.

This move will undoubtedly impact travelers and highlight airlines’ challenges when operating in regions experiencing conflict or heightened security concerns. 

Air India’s decision reflects a priority on ensuring the well-being of passengers and crew during increased uncertainty in the area.
