United to restart service to Tel Aviv, Israel
(February 4, 2025)
In early February United Airlines announced it would restart service to Israel in mid-March with one flight a day out of Newark which would be upped to two flights a day by the end of the month thereby beating Delta by two weeks. In January we called on the major U.S. air carriers to end their de facto boycott of Israel. (See: https://shulmaven.blogspot.com/2025/01/us-air-carriers-stop-boycotting-israel.html) Delta announced their resumption of flights to Israel starting in April later that month.(See: https://shulmaven.blogspot.com/2025/01/delta-to-resume-flights-to-israel.html)
For United, this should only be the beginning because it has historically had the most flights to Israel of all the U.S. airlines. For example United had flights, in addition to Newark, out of Washington, D.C., Chicago. Los Angeles and San Francisco. Now all we need is American Airlines to follow suit.
