Delta Air Lines will once again fly to Israel this summer.
Starting June 7, Delta will resume daily nonstop flights between New York’s JFK International Airport (JFK) and Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport (TLV). The airline suspended the service in October 2023, shortly after the Oct. 7 attack.
Delta said it is resuming the service following “an extensive security risk assessment.”
“Delta continues to closely monitor the situation in Israel in conjunction with government and private-sector partners,” it said in its announcement.
Delta will fly the service on an Airbus A330-900neo, which will amount to nearly 2,000 weekly seats from New York.
The news will make Delta the second U.S. airline to resume Israel flights after most of the industry suspended the service last fall. The first was United Airlines, which resumed service into Israel from Newark Liberty International (EWR). United doesn’t expect to restart service into Israel from other U.S. cities until at least this fall.
