American Airlines will restart its direct flights between New York's John F. Kennedy Airport and Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport on March 28, 2026, after a two-year suspension caused by the Gaza conflict. The airline will operate daily flights using a Boeing 777-200ER, with ticket sales beginning by October 27. The suspension began after the outbreak of war in October 2023, which led many international airlines to halt or adjust their services to Israel. Recently, other major carriers, including United Airlines and Delta, have resumed their routes to Tel Aviv, and several European airlines are also returning or expanding their services.
