United Airlines to launch nonstop flights from Israel to Chicago, Washington this fall

'These flights highlight United's longstanding commitment to Tel Aviv,' said Patrick Quayle, senior vice president of global network planning and alliances at United Airlines.

Israel's Transportation Minister Miri Regev and senior ministry officials recently met with United executives in the United States. The ministry said United leaders emphasized that trust and cooperation with Israel's transport authorities had only strengthened during the war, and the airline is committed to adding more U.S. routes to Israel in the future.
