United Airlines is set to resume nonstop service between Newark, New Jersey, and Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport on September 8, with two daily flights. The airline had previously suspended operations to Israel following the closure of the country’s airspace on February 28 due to the US-Israel war with Iran. This resumption comes as Ben Gurion Airport has fully reopened and other foreign airlines are slowly returning, though American Airlines will not resume flights before March 27, 2027, and Delta’s routes are suspended through September 5. The hiatus has left Israeli airlines El Al and Arkia as the primary carriers for US-Tel Aviv flights. The return of United’s service will provide more travel options ahead of the Jewish holiday season, which begins with Rosh Hashana on September 11.
