Saudi Arabia will allow Air India’s new direct flight from New Delhi to Tel Aviv to use its airspace.
Riyadh’s approval means Air India’s flight to Israel will be about five hours — three hours less than El Al’s flight to New Delhi, which is required to fly around the Arabian Peninsula.
According to Kan news, Riyadh approved the airline’s request to fly over its airspace last week.
Air India’s inaugural New Delhi-Tel Aviv flight is slated for March 18.
