Lufthansa Group (LH), including SWISS and Austrian Airlines, plans to restart operations on August 1, further restoring Europe\u2013Israel connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>United\u2019s early return reinforces its market leadership, having operated more flights to Tel Aviv than any other U.S. airline before the suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strategic-commitment-to-israel\">Strategic Commitment to Israel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>United Airlines\u2019 rapid reinstatement of service underlines its strategic focus on the Israel\u2013U.S. corridor.
