Air India is set to resume its flights to Israel starting March 3rd, as per insider sources. The airline plans to operate flights between Delhi and Tel Aviv, marking a return to regular service after suspending operations late last year due to escalating tensions between Israel and the Hamas militant group in Gaza.
The decision to suspend flights came after Hamas militants launched an attack on Israeli territory in October, resulting in casualties on both sides. In response, Israel initiated a significant air and ground offensive in Gaza, leading to further casualties and heightened tensions in the region.
Prior to the suspension, Air India operated five weekly flights between Delhi and Tel Aviv, offering service on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. The resumption of these flights signals a positive step towards restoring normalcy in air travel between India and Israel.
Additionally, India has forged a partnership with Israel to provide its workforce for construction-related jobs. This collaboration underscores the growing economic and strategic ties between the two countries, despite periodic tensions in the region.
With the restart of Air India’s flights to Israel, travellers can once again benefit from convenient air connectivity between the two nations, facilitating tourism, business, and cultural exchanges. As both countries continue to navigate geopolitical challenges, maintaining robust air links serves as a vital bridge for fostering bilateral relations and enhancing people-to-people connections.
