Air India Flight Diverted to Abu Dhabi After Missile Attack Near Tel Aviv Airport

By a Staff Reporter : On Sunday, an Air India flight, which was traveling from Delhi to Tel Aviv, had to be diverted to Abu Dhabi following a missile attack near Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel. The missile strike occurred less than an hour before the flight, AI139, was scheduled to land in Tel Aviv.

The flight, operated by a Boeing 787, was originally expected to arrive in Israel’s capital but had to change its course due to safety concerns after the missile attack. The airline confirmed the diversion, and Tel Aviv airport officials also verified the incident. As a result of the attack, the flight will now return to Delhi instead of continuing its journey to Tel Aviv.

This alarming event has once again raised concerns over the security situation in the Middle East and the potential risks to international air travel. The diversion highlights the volatile security conditions in the region, especially as tensions continue to rise. The situation is being closely monitored by both authorities and airlines, as they work to ensure the safety of passengers traveling in this part of the world.
