United Airlines Will Expand Tel Aviv Service with Two New U.S. Routes

United Airlines will resume flights from two more U.S. cities to Tel Aviv, Israel, in November.

The airline will resume flights from Chicago O’Hare (ORD) to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV) starting Nov. 1. The following day, on Nov. 2, it will do the same with its flights from Washington Dulles (IAD) into Ben Gurion.

United will fly the O’Hare route four times weekly and the D.C. route three times weekly. These flights will be United’s second and third routes into Tel Aviv; the airline is already flying into Ben Gurion from Newark Liberty (EWR).

“The resumption of these flights underscores United’s longstanding commitment to Tel Aviv,” said Patrick Quayle, United’s senior vice president of Global Network Planning and Alliances.

United was the first U.S. airline to resume flights into Tel Aviv when it did so in July, but it isn’t the only one connecting the U.S. to the city. Delta Air Lines restored its daily service between New York’s JFK International Airport (JFK) and Ben Gurion on Sept. 1.

Both United and Delta said they resumed service following safety studies.
