CHICAGO- United Airlines (UA) is set to reinstate its daily flight from New York/Newark (EWR) to Tel Aviv (TLV), Israel, marking the initial phase of restoring crucial passenger and cargo services that were halted in October.
The resumption of Newark-Tel Aviv flights is scheduled for March 2 and 4, with stopovers in Munich (MUC) to ensure seamless support from all service providers for non-stop service to and from Newark. No departures from Newark to Tel Aviv are planned for March 3 and 5. The ultimate aim is to recommence daily nonstop service to Tel Aviv starting March 6.

United conducted a thorough safety analysis in reaching this decision, collaborating closely with security experts and government officials in both the United States and Israel.
The airline also worked in conjunction with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) and the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) to establish protocols ensuring safety and informed decision-making.
Continuous monitoring of the situation in Tel Aviv will guide schedule adjustments as necessary, including modifications to the newly announced resumed service from New York/Newark.
United expresses eagerness to reintroduce a second daily Tel Aviv flight from Newark as early as May, contingent upon the recovery of travel demand.
The possibility of resuming previous flights from San Francisco, Washington Dulles, and Chicago O’Hare will be evaluated with a potential restart in the fall.
Starting January 8, 2024, the Lufthansa Group Airlines restarted flights to Tel Aviv. Initially, Lufthansa Airlines (LH) operated four weekly departures from Tel Aviv to Frankfurt (FRA) and three weekly flights to Munich (MUC).
Likewise, Austrian Airlines (OS) offers eight weekly connections to Vienna, while SWISS (LX) has five weekly flights from Tel Aviv to Zurich (ZRH).
