NEW DELHI, Oct 8: Air India has conducted a successful evacuation operation for its crew members and two airport managers from Tel Aviv on Sunday, a source said.
Among the evacuees were 10 crew members, comprising pilots and cabin crew, who were stationed in Israel for the purpose of operating the return flight.
It has been reported that they have embarked on a flight to Addis Ababa via Ethiopian Airlines and will subsequently continue their journey to India via a connecting flight.
Meanwhile, Air India has suspended its operations to and from Delhi-Tel Aviv till October 14, in response to the ongoing Hamas offensive that erupted on Saturday.
“Our flights to and from Tel Aviv will remain suspended till 14th October, 2023, for the safety of our passengers and crew. Air India will extend all possible support to passengers who have confirmed bookings on any flight during this period,” said an Air India spokesperson. (PTI)
