Before the war, United Airlines ran 28 weekly flights to Israel, with 14 from New York and the rest from US cities. On October 7, 2023, United Airlines suspended flights to Israel, resuming seven flights a week in March 2024, but stopped the month after Iran’s attack on Israel. Flights have been reopening and halting sporadically since due to unstable geopolitical security situations.
United Airlines will join a list of other foreign airlines renewing flights to Israel after the rebels of Yemeni Hooty arrive at the Ben Gurion airport site on May 4th. Airlines that have resumed flights include Delta Air Lines, Air France, Withaa, Aegean, Aegean, Aeroiso and Azerbaian Airlines.
However, other foreign airlines have announced more expanded cancellations of flights to Israel, including Lufthansa Group. British Airways, EasyJet and Ryanair cancelled all flights to Tel Aviv until the end of July, while Air Canada cancelled all flights until September 8th.
