Since October 7 Israel knows that foreign plane cannot be given and even now it will increase the aviation sector, especially by MSADO to participate, especially in Israel – North America.
US Carrier United Airlines announced last week it will continue to fly to Israel on July 21
Delta Airlines remains steadfast in not returning until September 1 and is unlikely to bring that date forward, having already diverted planes to other routes and sold most of the tickets, although returning earlier is still a possibility.
On the other hand, American Airlines, who run on Israel’s flights before the war, have never announced a date of return and retention of Tel Aviv trips that are not like its plans. No trips can be booked on the plane website for next year.
Until April 2025, the last month in which two flights of Delta and United of Israel, continued to fly to march, and 0.78% brought 50,000 passengers in the US in April.
The addition of two US airlines to the New York route is critical for Israeli passengers, on a route directed by El Al and Arkia. However, further flights and the origin return to the United still do not approach the restoration of the number of direct US trips to pre-war levels.
Last summer, 97 weekly flights were driven between Israel and the US in four planes – united, american and el al – flying to nine different US destinations. Lonely alone run 28 weekly flights, while El Al brings 42 trips to six destinations.
Today, El al is the most dominant route company, with 52 weekly flights, where about 30 New York, the remainder of eight more destinations. Arkia and unit to operate on New York trips only, and starting in September, the destination destinations in destinations in destinations of destinations in destinations are in destinations destinations of destinations in destinations at destinations in destinations
This means that in August, the period of peak for need, there are 26 little weekly trips compared to pre-war level or also to go to New York.

To find out how united joining can affect fares, “Globes” compare prices in the first week of July 2024 with the same week on July 2025.
With the loss of American Airlines, the rising fare of direct routers in New York is more pronounced. Meanwhile last year a basic round-trip-trip ticket can be purchased by United and Delta less than $ 1,611 – at previous year’s karients, with 3,200.
However, the united currently opened tickets for sale for trips unavailable for several months. Since the company originally planned to continue operations in August, tickets for this period are already in the past and gradually sell.
In Contrast, the tickets for the flights that will now be added following the early return are brand new – and therefore are sold at introductory pricing, and not at “last minute” prices that characterize Limited availability. As a result, it is still possible to find individual tickets for a limited time window for the end of July at prices for about $ 1,200-1,300. In August, prices have returned to a higher level (according to the industry’s matching method).
Bottom Line: The presence of American companies is important to lower ticket prices. High prices of Israeli companies reflect great need, greater in supply.
Since the burst of the war, American Airlines took a more careful approach to Israeli operations, preferring to provide initial notice of long cancellation. As operators of routes to destinations long, US carriers must plan ahead and have high surgical security.
During the first year of war, Delta was the most loyal US airline on the route of Israel, and continued to flights at an early stage. However, in the last six months, the united leads by the first return after traveling, owning continued trust in Israel.
However, American Airlines will be careful to return only after having a lull of security tensions, which may last for weeks or months.
US Airlines should also provide an overnight accommodation for the crew of Israel – because of the length of the route, requiring a break at rest. This need, with a critical character of Israel in some US labor organizations, made of Israel’s continued operations. The point: US planes should be assured to return and stay.
