United Airlines will begin a new nonstop flight between its hub at Washington Dulles International Airport and Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport starting May 22, 2019 – subject to government approval. The new flight will be the first to be operated by a U.S. carrier between the two cities.
Offering more nonstop service between the United States and Tel Aviv than any other U.S. airline, United’s new route to Tel Aviv will be the carrier’s fourth flight to Israel. United currently operates twice-daily service between New York/Newark and Tel Aviv and daily nonstop service between San Francisco and Tel Aviv.
“As we begin celebrating 20 years of service in Israel, we want to thank our customers and employees who have helped make United the top U.S. airline serving Israel,” said Patrick Quayle, United’s vice president of International Network. “We thank the Israeli government for its ongoing support and partnership. We look forward to continuing to serve Israel with this new service for our customers traveling between the U.S. capital and one of the most advanced science and technology sectors in the world.”
United’s new service between Washington Dulles and Tel Aviv will offer convenient connections to nearly 70 destinations in the United States, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Dallas and Miami.
