Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAmerican Airlines announces its first flights to Israel, with a Dallas-Tel Aviv route that will start operating on September 9, 2020 — the first direct flight from Israel to the Southwestern United States.
At first, there will be flights three times a week in the company’s new Dreamliner planes, the company says.
The flight is expected to take 12 hours and 15 minutes, shortening the current travel time by some 25 percent, it adds.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz welcomes the move, as does Gilad Katz, Israel’s consul in Houston, Texas.
