JERUSALEM, March 2 (Xinhua) -- India's flagship carrier Air India resumed its flights to Israel on Sunday after a suspension of seven months.
The operations resumed with a direct flight that took off from Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi and landed Sunday evening at Ben Gurion Airport outside Tel Aviv.
Air India will now operate five weekly flights between Delhi and Tel Aviv, becoming the sole airline offering direct services between the two nations.
Following the outbreak of Israel's multi-front conflict, most foreign airlines temporarily suspended their flights to Tel Aviv amid heightening tensions in the Middle East region. ■
