Air India announced the resumption of its non-stop flights between Delhi and Tel Aviv, with the first flight scheduled for March 2. This move marks the airline’s effort to expand its international routes and enhance travel options between India and Israel.
The airline will operate five flights weekly on this route, deploying its Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft, which features 18 flat-bed seats in Business Class and 238 spacious seats in Economy Class. The direct service aims to make travel between Delhi and Tel Aviv more convenient for passengers.
Flight AI139 will depart from Delhi on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 3:55 p.m. (IST), arriving in Tel Aviv at 7:25 p.m. (local time). The return flight, AI140, will leave Tel Aviv at 9:10 p.m., landing in Delhi at 6:10 a.m. the following morning.
“Bookings for the Delhi-Tel Aviv flights are now open. Passengers can reserve their seats through Air India’s website, mobile app, or travel agents,” the national carrier stated.
After receiving the necessary approvals, Air India’s decision to resume this route underscores its ambition to strengthen its global network, particularly in the Middle East and Europe. The airline had halted flights to and from Tel Aviv last year amid growing tensions in parts of the Middle East, continuously monitoring the situation.
The revival of this service is expected to boost travel between India and Israel, further enhancing diplomatic and business ties between the two nations.
Additionally, the Tata group-owned airline announced earlier this month that it will offer inflight Wi-Fi Internet connectivity services on domestic flights, marking another step in its commitment to improving passenger experience.
