United plans to restart flight service to Tel Aviv, Israel.
United announced plans to restart New York/Newark to Tel Aviv service on March 15th, with a second daily flight planned to begin March 29th.
This resumption follows a detailed assessment of operational considerations for the region and close work with the unions who represent the company’s flight attendants and pilots.
The flights will be operated on Boeing 787-10s.
United said it has a longstanding commitment to serving Tel Aviv, and this return will make United the first U.S. airline to resume service this year. United also offers connections to Tel Aviv through partners including Lufthansa Group airlines.
As United restarts flight service to Tel Aviv, Israel, the airline added that it will continue to evaluate opportunities to restore additional flights based on demand.
With U.S. hubs in Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York/Newark, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., United operates the most comprehensive global route network among North American carriers and is now the largest airline in the world as measured by available seat miles.
