An Air India official on Wednesday said the scheduled flights to Tel Aviv have been suspended till November 2.
The airline has not operated a scheduled flight to and from Tel Aviv since October 7.
Normally, the full-service carrier operates five weekly flights to Tel Aviv from the national capital. The service is on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
During this month, the airline operated a few chartered flights to Tel Aviv from the national capital under the government’s Operation Ajay to bring back Indians who wished to come back from Israel against the backdrop of the escalating conflict.
