Air India has announced the continuation of its flight suspension to and from Tel Aviv until May 8, citing security concerns.

The extension follows a previous decision to halt flights until May 6 after one of its aircraft from Delhi was forced to divert to Abu Dhabi due to a missile attack near the Israeli city's airport.

Under regular operations, Air India runs five flights weekly to Tel Aviv. The airline stated in a social media post that impacted passengers can reschedule without a fee or opt for a full refund if their travel is affected up to May 8, 2025.
