Delta to Resume Daily New York-Tel Aviv Flights

Delta Air Lines will relaunch nonstop service between New York and Tel Aviv on September 1, restoring a key international route after months of suspension. The airline will operate daily flights, offering seven weekly services from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Ben Gurion Airport.

The route had been briefly reinstated in April but was suspended again in May following a missile strike near Ben Gurion Airport and subsequent military operations involving Iran. Delta extended the pause as a precautionary measure to ensure passenger safety. With the resumption, the carrier signals renewed confidence in the stability of operations and the continued strength of Israel’s tourism and business markets.

Delta emphasized that restoring the route is part of its commitment to providing reliable service for travelers between the United States and Israel. The airline expects strong demand, particularly with the start of the holiday season, when both leisure and family travel traditionally peak.

The return of daily flights not only benefits travelers but also supports broader ties between the two countries. Tel Aviv remains a vital hub for business, culture, and tourism, making nonstop connectivity from New York an important link.

By relaunching the service, Delta joins other international carriers in reaffirming their commitment to the Israeli market. The move underscores the airline’s long-term strategy to serve high-demand global routes, balancing safety considerations with customer demand for connectivity and travel convenience.
