Air India set to resume near-daily flights between Tel Aviv, Delhi starting December
Once flights resume, the company will join Ben-Gurion Airport's list of foreign long-haul carriers, which currently includes US carriers Delta Air Lines and United Airlines.
Air India is set to resume near-daily flights between Tel Aviv and Delhi starting December 1, according to N12 News. The Indian flag carrier previously operated five direct flights per week between the two cities, but discontinued service in May 2025 following a Houthi missile strike on Ben-Gurion Airport. Air India had previously returned to service in March 2025, after an intermittent hiatus during the Gaza war and October 7 massacre.
As the sole carrier offering direct flights between Israel and India, the airline's return will enable Israeli and Indian travelers to bypass layover flights. Upon resuming operations, Air India will join Ben-Gurion Airport's roster of long-haul foreign carriers, which currently comprises Delta Air Lines and United Airlines. Delta recently reinstated its JFK-Tel Aviv service on September 7, while United resumed its Newark-Tel Aviv route on September 9.
