JERUSALEM, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- U.S. carrier United Airlines resumed service to Israel on Wednesday, with a flight from Newark Liberty International Airport arriving at Ben Gurion Airport, the airline and the Israel Airports Authority said.
United had suspended flights to Israel in late February following the outbreak of the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran.
The airline has resumed its Newark-Tel Aviv route with two daily flights and plans to restart service from Chicago and Washington, D.C., to Tel Aviv in late October.
On Monday, Delta Air Lines became the first U.S. carrier to resume operations in Israel since the outbreak of the war, with a daily flight from New York to Tel Aviv.
American Airlines, which suspended flights to Israel following the outbreak of the multi-front conflict in October 2023, has said it will not resume service to Tel Aviv before late March 2027. ■
