Air India cancels Tel Aviv flights amid escalating tensions in Israel: Report

Air India has cancelled its flight to Tel Aviv scheduled on Sunday from New Delhi, following the recent attack by Hamas in Israel. The return flight, AI140 from Tel Aviv to Delhi, has also been cancelled in the interests and safety of the guests and crew. Passengers are being extended all support as per their requirements, as per an India Today report.

The decision comes after Hamas launched a series of rocket attacks on Israel, which led to the death of several people and caused widespread damage. The situation has escalated tensions in the region, and several airlines have suspended their flights to Israel as a precautionary measure.

Air India’s decision is expected to impact passengers who had booked tickets for the affected flights. The airline has not yet announced any alternative arrangements or compensation for the passengers.

The situation in Israel remains tense, and travellers are advised to check with their airlines before making travel plans. The Indian government has also issued an advisory asking its citizens to avoid non-essential travel to Israel until further notice.
Overall, the cancellation of Air India’s flights to and from Israel is a precautionary measure taken in view of the current situation. The airline is expected to resume its services once the situation stabilizes.
