Delta Air Lines is the first US carrier to announce a resumption of its Tel Aviv-New York route starting on April 1, ending its most recent hiatus of services that began in July as Israel fought wars on multiple fronts.
The move comes after Delta in October extended the cancellation of all flights to and from Israel through March 31, citing the “ongoing conflict in the region.”
Delta says its decision to resume services “follows a comprehensive security review, conducted in close coordination with government and private-sector partners.”
“The airline continues to prioritize the safety of its customers and crews and has implemented additional precautions for operations to and from Tel Aviv,” the US carrier says.
In addition, Delta announces that it has entered into a codeshare agreement with El Al Israel Airlines. The partnership will allow Delta customers to book El Al’s nonstop flights to Tel Aviv from major US cities such as Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, and Fort Lauderdale.
