United Airlines revealed that it will restart its route from Newark Airport to Tel Aviv ahead of its previously scheduled date.
The airline confirmed that service will officially resume on June 5, with the initial flight from Newark to Tel Aviv set to depart this coming Thursday.
United noted that the decision came after a detailed review of safety and logistical factors, carried out in consultation with the airline’s pilots and flight attendant unions.
Meanwhile, AirBaltic announced on Saturday that it plans to restart its flights to Israel on June 6. Earlier in the week, Air France resumed its service to Ben Gurion Airport on Tuesday. Delta Air Lines has also confirmed its intention to reinstate flights to Israel.
Some airlines have not yet resumed operations. Lufthansa, for instance, is expected to delay its return until June 15. British Airways and Ryanair have both prolonged their suspensions, now aiming to resume flights only at the end of July.
Ryanair, a budget airline, said last Wednesday that it will be halting all flights to Israel until July 31.
British Airways made a similar announcement approximately a week ago, stating that all of its flights to Israel will remain suspended through the end of July.
