US carrier United Airlines announces that it will resume direct flight routes from Chicago and Washington, D.C. to Tel Aviv from November.
“The resumption of these flights underscores United’s longstanding commitment to Tel Aviv,” says Patrick Quayle, United’s senior vice president of Global Network Planning and Alliances.
For the first time since 2023, United will restart operating its flight services to Tel Aviv from Chicago O’Hare on November 1 and Washington Dulles international airports on November 2.
United says it “offers more flights to Tel Aviv than any other US airline and will be the only airline operating flights between Tel Aviv and both Chicago and Washington D.C.”
The US airline at the end of July resumed twice daily flight services from New York’s Newark airport to Tel Aviv.
“United’s service to Tel Aviv always follows a detailed assessment of operational, safety, and security considerations in the region,” United stated.
Airlines have cut flights and services to Israel amid the ongoing conflicts, including the war with Iran, and amid Houthi missile attacks on Ben Gurion airport.
