AIR INDIA on Tuesday announced a one-time waiver of charges for rescheduling or cancellation of confirmed tickets on flights to and from Tel Aviv till the end of the month.

The airline has cancelled flights to and from Tel Aviv till October 14 amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.

In a post on social media platform X on Tuesday (10), the carrier said, "The offer is valid on tickets issued before 9th October for travel until 31st October 2023."

Normally, the full-service carrier operates five weekly flights to Tel Aviv from Delhi. The service is on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

While many other major airlines have cancelled flights to and from Israel, Israeli carriers have looked to ramp up capacity, at least in coming days. Many Israelis were travelling abroad the last week for a Jewish holiday.

Israeli airlines El Al, Israir and Arkia added more flights on Tuesday to bring back reservists, according to their websites and Israel's airports authority, though the prospect of more conflict also stoked sector worries about staff shortages.

The flights come after Israel said on Monday (9) it had called up an unprecedented 300,000 reservists and warned residents of Palestinian enclave Gaza to evacuate in a sign it could be planning a ground assault in response to Palestinian militant group Hamas' unprecedented weekend attack.

Why the UK government is moving to fully nationalise British Steel after years of crisis

  • The UK government is expected to announce full British Steel nationalisation in the king’s speech.
  • British Steel’s Scunthorpe plant operates the country’s last remaining blast furnaces.
  • Rising losses, Chinese ownership tensions and fears over industrial security pushed the government towards intervention.

For decades, the giant blast furnaces towering over Scunthorpe stood as symbols of Britain’s industrial strength. Now, they are becoming symbols of something else entirely — the struggle to keep the country’s steel industry alive in a rapidly changing global economy.

The UK government is expected to formally move towards full nationalisation of British Steel in the upcoming king’s speech, marking another dramatic turn in the long and turbulent history of one of Britain’s most politically sensitive industrial businesses.
