United Airlines to resume flights to Israel today

“The carrier is then scheduled to add Flight 90 and Flight 91 — the evening departure from Newark and the red-eye flight from Tel Aviv —on Thursday, June 20.”

The airline aims to relaunch flights to Israel from Chicago, San Fransisco and Washington DC in late October, according to the site.

Following an “extensive security risk assessment,” rival carrier Delta plans to resume daily, non-stop flights from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to Ben Gurion tomorrow.

The route, which was suspended in October, will provide customers with nearly 2,000 weekly seats from New York to Israel, Delta said.

In the UK, Virgin Atlantic recently announced it will resume journeys between London Heathrow and Israel from 5 September, when it will begin operating a daily flight in each direction.

Wizz Air started up operations again in March, with British Airways following the next month.
