United Airlines will resume flights to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, from New York/Newark on July 21, 2025. The airline will operate twice-daily flights, returning the next day. This decision comes after a ceasefire between Israel and Iran concluded a 12-day conflict.
United Airlines had previously suspended flights on June 11, 2025, before the conflict began. The airline has a history of serving Tel Aviv, operating more flights there than any other U.S. airline in 2025. Flights will continue using Boeing 787-10 aircraft.
The U.S. State Department advises travelers to "Reconsider Travel" to Israel due to potential security concerns.
