Air India re-opens Tel Aviv–Delhi direct service: Game-changer for India–Israel connectivity

A pivotal route returns

India and Israel’s aviation link takes a major leap forward as Air India restores its non-stop service between Tel Aviv (TLV) and Delhi (DEL). This route will operate five times a week (Sunday to Thursday) using the advanced Boeing 787 Dreamliner—offering superior comfort, speed and seamless connectivity for business and leisure travellers alike. 

Flight schedule & operational highlights

• The Tel Aviv-to-Delhi leg is scheduled to depart at 11:40 am and arrive at 8:50 pm (IST)—ideal for travellers poised to engage in India on arrival.

• The reverse Delhi-to-Tel Aviv service departs 7:00 am and lands at 9:55 am (IST)—facilitating onward connections out of Tel Aviv.

• Using the Boeing 787 Dreamliner ensures high-efficiency operations, enhanced passenger experience and reliability for the route.
  
  

Why this matters for the B2B travel and aviation sectors

• Expanded opportunities for agencies & consolidators

For travel agents and consolidators handling India–Israel itineraries, this route reinstatement means more straightforward schedules, reduced transit complexity and new product possibilities across incentives, group travel and MICE.

• Corporate travel planners benefit

With reliable early-morning arrivals and evening departures, corporate travellers gain improved time-window flexibility for meetings, site visits and multi-destination journeys between India and Israel.

• Airlines and aviation stakeholders gain strategic value

This direct linkage enhances bilateral connectivity—positioning India as a source market for Israeli tourism, and Israel as an access point to Indian business and leisure flows. 

Wider connectivity momentum

The move by Air India is complemented by keen interest from Arkia Airlines, which is evaluating direct Indian routes—including Mumbai, Bengaluru and Goa—using long-range Airbus A321neo LR jets. These developments point to a broader phase of India-Israel aviation collaboration. 

Strategic takeaway for your business

• Review your routings for India–Israel business and leisure opportunities; direct flights reduce reliance on multi-hop alternatives.

• Update your products: build packages around Delhi and Tel Aviv hubs that cater to live-in market dynamics (MICE, incentive groups, short-stay stopovers).

• Coordinate with your airline partners and local ground handlers to leverage this enhanced schedule for group volumes.

• Monitor the Arkia developments—additional direct routes could further diversify options and pricing in the India–Israel corridor.
