US carrier Delta Air Lines is considering bringing forward the resumption of its Tel Aviv-New York route, Israeli financial daily Globes reports.

Back in October, Delta extended the cancellation of all flights to and from Israel through March 31, citing the “ongoing conflict in the region.”

When contacted by The Times of Israel, a representative for Delta says that the carrier has not yet issued an update on the resumption of services to Israel.

Delta would be the first US carrier to announce that it is resuming its services to Israel, after American Airlines halted services to Tel Aviv until September 2025 and United Airlines suspended its flights for the foreseeable future due to security concerns.

Delta canceled its flights to Israel following the October 7, 2023, Hamas onslaught, finally resuming them in June 2024, before canceling them again on July 31, after the targeted assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
