United Airlines will resume service to Israel on Thursday, the American company announced on Saturday.
The first flight following the resumption of operations will depart from Newark to Tel Aviv on Thursday, June 5. Starting the next day, United will launch two daily flights on the Newark–Tel Aviv route.
Delta Air Lines is also resuming its daily direct flight route to Israel from JFK Airport in New York, after a temporary suspension due to the security situation in the region and the Houthi missile strike at Ben Gurion Airport.
United and Delta are among the few airlines that are resuming flights to Israel in recent weeks.
In contrast, many others continue to cancel or postpone the return of service to Ben Gurion Airport, including Lufthansa, Air France, British Airways, and easyJet.
Ryanair 'forced' to cancel flights to Israel for reasons 'beyond its control'
Low-cost airline Ryanair said it was "forced to cancel flights" to Israel until at least the beginning of August, citing reasons "beyond our control" on Wednesday.
Opposition head MK Yair Lapid stated that the cancellations "could have been prevented if the government had worked in an orderly manner and offered airlines insurance reimbursement," adding that it had been done in the past.
