Air India has announced an extension of its suspension of flights to and from Tel Aviv until June 19, 2025. The airline is offering affected customers a one-time rescheduling waiver or a full refund, as said in a post on X.

According to Moneycontrol, the suspension follows heightened security concerns in the region. On May 4, 2025, a missile strike near Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport led Air India to divert a flight from Delhi to Abu Dhabi. This incident prompted the initial suspension, which has now been extended.

Passengers with valid tickets for travel to or from Tel Aviv until June 19, 2025, are eligible for a one-time waiver on rescheduling charges or a full refund for cancellations. Air India shared these details on their official X account.
