United Airlines says it plans to become the first US airline to gradually resume its flight services between New York and Tel Aviv starting on March 15.
“This resumption follows a detailed assessment of operational considerations for the region and close work with the unions who represent our flight attendants and pilots,” United says in a statement. “United has a longstanding commitment to serving Tel Aviv.”
United announces that it will restart a daily flight to Newark Airport from Tel Aviv on March 15, with plans to operate a second daily flight beginning March 29.
“United will continue to evaluate opportunities to restore additional flights based on demand,” the US airline says.
In recent months, US airlines completely stopped flying to Israel during heightened fighting in Gaza and Lebanon, and as tensions rose in the Middle East. United previously suspended its flights for the foreseeable future due to security concerns. American Airlines halted services to Tel Aviv until September 2025.
At the end of January, Delta Air Lines became the first US carrier to announce a resumption of its Tel Aviv-New York route starting on April 1.
