Air India delays return to Israel until December, but continues to sell tickets for October

Air India has again delayed the resumption of flights to Israel, now until at least December. This was reported to Israel Hayom by Open Sky, which represents the Indian carrier in Israel.

However, you can still buy tickets for October on direct flights between Tel Aviv and New Delhi on the Air India website. According to the publication, some passengers who purchased tickets have already received notifications of flight cancellations.

At the time of publication, tickets for October were offered from $710 one way. As of December, when the airline now plans to return to Ben Gurion, prices started at $635.

Air India has already postponed the resumption of flights to Israel several times. In July, the company extended the suspension of flights until September 30, although it previously expected to return at the end of August.

At the beginning of 2026, Air India resumed flights between Tel Aviv and New Delhi and operated four flights a week, but suspended them again amid the worsening situation in the region.
