United Airlines is returning to Israel after months of suspended service due to the war with Iran and the ongoing security situation. Starting September 8, the airline will resume operations on its Newark-Tel Aviv route, offering two daily flights. The first flight will depart Newark for Tel Aviv on September 8, with the inaugural return flight leaving Ben Gurion for Newark on September 9. The two daily flights are expected to bring thousands of weekly seats back to the market as demand for US travel surges ahead of the High Holy Days. United is one of the most prominent carriers for Israelis traveling to the United States, thanks to its extensive connecting network. Its return is set to boost seat capacity, expand options for passengers, and drive competition on these high-demand transatlantic routes. This aligns with a broader trend of recovery in international aviation to Israel, as both foreign and Israeli airlines have announced expansions at Ben Gurion Airport following months of route cutbacks.
