India on Monday said that it will introduce a direct flight from New
Delhi to Tel Aviv from March 22.
According to the airline, a 256-seater Boeing 787 Dreamliner will operate the thrice-a-week flight service.

launch of the operation to Tel Aviv has witnessed an over whelming
response both in India and Israel lending a fillip to tourism besides
boosting the trade and industry sector," the airline said in a
statement.
"The flight will also attract travellers from
countries further to the east in the Southeast Asia and Australia.The
duration of the flight between Delhi and Tel Aviv will be around 2 hours
shorter than that taken by Israel's national carrier El Al, which has
direct flights between Tel Aviv and Mumbai."
