Leading airlines have restricted travel to and from Israel after violent clashes broke out on Saturday morning. Air India canceled a flight from Delhi to Tel Aviv and a return flight from Israel on October 7 due to a surprise attack by the Hamas terror group. Others, including German airline Lufthansa, have announced plans to cancel most flights today.
“An Air India flight from Delhi to Tel Aviv on October 7, 2023 and the return flight AI140 from Tel Aviv to Delhi have been canceled in the interest and safety of our guests and crew members. All assistance will be provided to passengers as required. “said an Air India spokesperson.
