United launching new Tel Aviv route from Chicago
United Airlines announced a new international route launch with nonstop service between Chicago O’Hare and Tel Aviv.
The route kicks off in September and will operate three times a week to Tel Aviv ‘s Ben Gurion International Airport.
The airline plans to fill a gap as the two cities haven’t had direct links for more than a decade.
Flag carrier El Al previously flew to Chicago, and planned to resume flights in March, but the Covid-19 pandemic has pushed that back indefinitely.
United hasn’t confirmed the exact date in September yet.
The thrice-weekly service will be operated by 252-seat Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners.
United also flies nonstop to Tel Aviv from Newark, San Francisco, and Washington Dulles.
The Newark service will soon increase to 10 weekly flights once again, and United’s San Francisco service was reinstated this week.
The Washington Dulles route is scheduled to resume in October.
