(MENAFN- Nam News Network) NEW DELHI, Aug 3 (NNN-PTI) – Air India, yesterday, announced the suspension of all its flights to and from Tel Aviv, until Aug 8, amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.

In view of the ongoing situation in parts of the Middle East, we have suspended scheduled operation of our flights to and from Tel Aviv, with immediate effect, up to and including Aug 8,” Air India, in a statement, said.

“We are continuously monitoring the situation and are extending support to our passengers with confirmed bookings for travel to and from Tel Aviv, during this period, with a one-time waiver on rescheduling and cancellation charges,” it added.
