United Airlines eyes February 22 for return to Tel Aviv

United Airlines is expected to resume its flights to Israel in February, with industry sources suggesting a tentative restart date of February 22. 

While the airline has not officially confirmed this timeline, it responded to inquiries by stating, "Our flights to Tel Aviv remain suspended at this stage." Currently, tickets for flights to and from Tel Aviv are unavailable on United’s booking system.

Before the suspensions, United Airlines operated 28 weekly flights from Tel Aviv, including 14 flights to New York and additional routes to Chicago, Washington, and San Francisco. However, geopolitical instability has caused the airline to halt operations several times in the past year.

If United Airlines resumes its service in February, it will join other major carriers such as Lufthansa Group, Air India, Air France, and British Airways, which have announced dates for restarting flights to Tel Aviv.

The decision to resume operations signals a growing confidence in the safety and stability of the region for international carriers. However, the situation remains fluid, and airlines are closely monitoring developments before fully committing to regular schedules.
