The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Air India has extended the suspension of its Tel Aviv-Delhi flights until the end of September 2026, citing security concerns in West Asia.
- The airline had earlier paused the route in April after the Iran-U.S. conflict began in late February, with the suspension extended several times since.
- The decision follows renewed hostilities over the past 10 days, with the U.S. striking targets in Iran and Tehran hitting American bases in allied countries.
- The suspension has worried more than 40,000 Indians in Israel who rely on the route to travel home, while only Israeli carriers and a few other international airlines continue to operate.
What to watch next
- Whether Air India extends the suspension again or resumes flights after September 2026
- Escalation or de-escalation of the U.S.-Iran conflict affecting regional airspace safety
- Whether other international carriers resume operations on Israel routes, easing travel options for Indians in Israel
