They said the flight will be coming back to Delhi.
As per information available on flight tracking website Flightradar24.com, the flight was in the Jordanian airspace when it was decided to divert the flight to Abu Dhabi.
Air India’s flight from Tel Aviv to Delhi has been cancelled for Sunday (May 4, 2025).
A statement from Air India was awaited.
Air traffic to the Tel Aviv airport was briefly suspended after a missile launched from Yemen landed near the Tel Aviv airport.
