Air India Plans Delhi-Tel Aviv Nonstop Flights From December 1
Air India flies non-stop from Delhi to Tel Aviv from December 1, 2026. Fares, flight time and what India’s travel advice says.
Air India flies non-stop from Delhi to Tel Aviv again from 1 December 2026. Tickets are on sale on the airline’s route page, with one-way economy fares from INR 48,534 for the first departure at the time of writing. The flight takes about 6.5 to 7 hours, so travellers from India no longer need a connection through another Middle East or European airport.[1]
Check the schedule before you book
Air India’s route page lists four weekly Delhi-Tel Aviv services, while the first announcements spoke of five weekly flights.[1] Search your travel date on airindia.com to see which days operate. Frequencies can change with the season, and live flight status opens only shortly before departure, so check again in the days before you fly. If you start your trip elsewhere in India, Air India sells onward connections to Delhi on its domestic network.
India’s Israel travel advice still applies
The Ministry of External Affairs has advised all Indians not to travel to Israel until further notice, citing the regional situation. The advisory dates from 12 April 2024 and is still on its website.[2] A restored flight does not change that advice or Israel’s entry rules. Read the latest official advice, check your insurance cover and the airline’s change rules, and make sure your passport and any visa are in order before you buy a non-refundable ticket.
