In the past, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also announced new flight service connecting Delhi, Mumbai and Tel Aviv when he visited Israel a year ago.
"When Air India begins direct flights from New Delhi to Tel Aviv in the coming weeks, it will take about as long to fly to the Indian capital as it now takes to fly to London, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday", The Jerusalem Post said, quoting Netanyahu in its report datelined Washington.
So far, Riyadh does not allow flights connecting Israel over Saudi Arabia.
At present, Israel's El Al flights between Tel Aviv and Mumbai take a seven-hour circuitous route and fly over the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and then enter India and avoid countries that are on the direct flight path such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
But an Air India spokesman denied the Prime Minister's comments several hours later, stressing they had not received any confirmation and had only submitted a request for a flight along that route.

When I talked with Moore on Friday , he predicted "anything under 4.5" for his 40-yard dash, and he certainly hit that goal. Meeks was impressive, but his former Stanford teammate Justin Reid may have eclipsed his performance.
Saudi Arabia's aviation authority did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
At the time, Israel's Airports Authority told Reuters the service was set to begin in early March. Then, sources from within Air India had confirmed that permission to use Saudi airspace for flights to Israel was coming soon.
The prime minister, who visited India in January, acknowledged the agreement could hurt El Al. If implemented, the new route over Saudi Arabia will cut down the flying time to India from some eight hours to about five-and-a-half.
If Saudi Arabia were to ease its airspace regulations it could be seen as concrete evidence of warming relations with Israel and a broader re-configuring of regional alliances.
