According to a PTI report, Israel’s national air-carrier El Al Israel Airlines is planning to enhance connectivity between India and Israel by launching Tel Aviv-New Delhi service starting this summer. Judah Samuel, General Manager (India), El Al Israel Airlines told PTI, “We plan to introduce an air service between Tel Aviv and New Delhi from the coming summer season.” The proposed flight will operate twice a week.
