United Airlines is set to restart its New York/Newark to Tel Aviv service on March 15, 2024, marking the carrier’s return to Israel after a temporary suspension.
A second daily flight is also scheduled to launch on March 29, providing travelers with more options between the U.S. and Israel.
As the first U.S. airline to resume flights to Tel Aviv this year, United’s decision follows a thorough assessment of operational conditions and close coordination with the airline’s flight attendants’ and pilots’ unions. The route will be operated using Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners, ensuring a comfortable long-haul travel experience.
The announcement comes amid ongoing developments in the region, including high-level discussions between U.S. and Israeli officials.
A Key Route for United’s Global Network
United Airlines has long been committed to serving Tel Aviv, maintaining a strong presence in the region. The airline’s return is expected to facilitate travel for business and leisure passengers, as well as those visiting family and friends.
In addition to its direct New York/Newark service, United offers connections to Tel Aviv through partner airlines, including carriers within the Lufthansa Group. While these initial flights mark a major milestone, United has stated that it will continue to monitor demand and evaluate the potential for additional services in the future.
More Travel Options for U.S.-Israel Flights
United’s return to Tel Aviv not only restores a critical international connection but also enhances travel flexibility for passengers. With daily flights resuming, travelers can once again rely on a direct link between the U.S. East Coast and Israel, a route that had been suspended due to regional challenges.
As demand for international air travel continues to rebound, United’s move signals confidence in the route’s importance, both for travelers and for the broader aviation industry.
