Delta Air Lines (NYSE: NYSE:DAL) announced today that it will resume its daily nonstop service from New York-JFK to Tel Aviv (TLV) starting June 7, 2024. The route, which had been temporarily suspended since October 2023, will operate on an Airbus A330-900neo. This aircraft will offer nearly 2,000 weekly seats on the transatlantic journey, expanding travel options between North America and Israel.
The airline's decision to restart the service follows a comprehensive security risk assessment and ongoing monitoring of the situation in Israel, in collaboration with government and private-sector partners. Delta emphasizes its commitment to safety and the well-being of its customers and crew as a priority in its operations.
Delta has been enhancing its footprint in the Israeli market through a codeshare partnership with EL AL Israel Airlines. This agreement has allowed Delta customers to access EL AL's direct flights to Tel Aviv from several major U.S. cities, including New York-JFK, New York-Newark, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, and Fort Lauderdale. The reintroduction of Delta's own service from New York-JFK adds to the breadth of travel options available to customers seeking to connect the two countries.
The information provided here is based on a press release statement. Delta's resumed service to Israel reflects the airline's strategy to strengthen its international network and provide more flexibility and choice to its customers. The use of the Airbus A330-900neo for the New York-JFK to Tel Aviv route demonstrates Delta's commitment to modernizing its fleet and enhancing the passenger experience.
