Summary · why it matters

Delta Air Lines and United Airlines are restoring more service to Israel, signaling growing confidence in a market that U.S. carriers have repeatedly pulled back from due to security concerns. Delta will restart daily New York-to-Tel Aviv flights on September 6, while United is adding San Francisco service next spring. Delta's restart is measured: its Atlanta-Tel Aviv service remains suspended until December 18, and Boston service until further notice. United plans three weekly flights between San Francisco and Tel Aviv beginning March 28, adding to its existing service from Newark, Chicago, and Washington Dulles. American Airlines, in contrast, has its Israel flights suspended through March 27, 2027, leaving Delta and United with less direct competition. For investors, Israel itself is unlikely to materially change either airline's overall earnings, but restoring service matters because long-haul international and premium travel are important revenue sources, and limited capacity can support pricing if demand remains resilient.
