 United Airlines has confirmed plans to resume
daily flights between New York / Newark (EWR) and Tel Aviv (TLV),
Israel.

The initial Newark-Tel Aviv flights are scheduled
to take off on 2 and 4 March and will stop in Munich, Germany to ensure
that all service providers are ready to support a non-stop service
between Newark and Israel.

No Newark departures to Tel Aviv are planned for 3
and 5 March, but United has said that it aims to resume daily
nonstop services to Tel Aviv from 6 March and is even hoping to
launch a second daily Tel Aviv flight from Newark as soon as May,
as demand recovers.

United suspended passenger and cargo services to
Tel Aviv in
October.

United says it has conducted a detailed safety
analysis in making the decision to resume flights, including
working closely with security experts and government officials in
the United States and Israel.

The company has also worked with the Air Line
Pilots Association and the Association of Flight Attendants to
develop the necessary protocols to ensure they are safe and
well-informed.

United’s flights between Israel and San Francisco,
Washington Dulles and Chicago O’Hare are being evaluated for
resumption beginning in the fall.
