Air India has extended the suspension of its Tel Aviv-Delhi flights until the end of June due to ongoing security concerns in West Asia, despite a ceasefire between the US and Iran. This extension affects over 40,000 Indians living in Israel, limiting travel options and increasing airfare costs. While Israeli carriers and a few international airlines continue operations, the suspension poses challenges for passengers traveling for work, tourism, or family reasons amid regional uncertainties.
