United Airline and Government officials celebrated the brand-new three-times-weekly nonstop service between Chicago O’Hare Airport and Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport with a gate celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony last week.
In addition to Chicago, United currently operates nonstop service between Tel Aviv and its hubs in Newark/New York and San Francisco and will resume service between Washington and Tel Aviv on October 25.
The airline operates more nonstop service between the United States and Israel than any U.S. airline.
“Throughout 2020, United has been the only carrier to maintain continuous daily service between the U.S. and Israel,” said Patrick Quayle, United’s vice president of International Network and Alliances.
“As we continue rebuilding our international network, we look forward to offering customers more opportunities to travel between the U.S. and Tel Aviv.”
In addition to brand new service between Chicago and Tel Aviv, United increased its current Tel Aviv service from its New York/Newark hub in August from daily to 10 weekly flights and will resume service between Washington, D.C. and Tel Aviv in October.
In July, United resumed its nonstop service between San Francisco and Tel Aviv three days a week.
