Journalist Dean Fisher (N12) reported on Friday that United Airlines will resume flights to Israel on September 8, making it the first US carrier to set a return date since American airlines suspended operations to Israel due to regional security concerns.
The announcement follows a period during which no US airline operated flights to Israel. As The Zioneer reported on July 21, no American carrier was expected to return before September at the earliest. United's planned return on September 8 falls within that timeframe.
The move adds to a trend of international airlines gradually returning to Israel, as The Zioneer has previously reported on the resumption of flights by Wizz Air, Condor, Air Europa, and others. Israir, an Israeli airline, received regulatory approval for US flights and is seeking FAA approval for a New York route.
The report is a first publication; no official confirmation from United Airlines has been provided yet.
