United Airlines to Resume Flights to Israel in March

Becoming the first U.S. carrier to restart service since the October Hamas attack, United Airlines outlines safety measures and future plans.

United Airlines announces the resumption of flights to Israel starting early March, becoming the first U.S. carrier to do so since the October 7 Hamas attack.
The initial flights from Newark to Tel Aviv will include a stop in Munich, with the goal of resuming daily non-stop service starting March 6.
United conducted a detailed safety analysis and collaborated with security experts, government officials, and unions to ensure safety protocols.
The airline plans to monitor the situation in Tel Aviv and adjust schedules as necessary, with hopes to add a second daily flight from Newark as soon as May.
Other U.S. cities' flights to Tel Aviv, previously suspended, will be evaluated for resumption beginning in the fall.
