United Airlines is expanding its service to Israel by adding new routes to Chicago and Washington D.C. in October, with flights to San Francisco planned for 2027. These additions increase the number of airlines flying to Israel to five, leading to more competitive ticket prices. The airline had previously resumed flights to New York in September after a suspension.

  • United Airlines will launch new routes to Chicago and Washington D.C. in October.
  • Flights to San Francisco are planned to begin by March 30, 2027.
  • The new routes will supplement existing daily flights to New York.
  • The airline resumed flights to Israel in September after Operation "Lion's Roar."
  • Increased competition has led to more reasonable ticket prices on the route.

United Airlines is increasing its flight offerings to Israel, adding new routes to Chicago and Washington D.C. starting in late October. The airline will operate four weekly flights to Chicago beginning October 26 and three weekly flights to Washington starting October 28. These new services will supplement the two daily flights to New York that resumed on September 9, following a suspension due to Operation "Lion's Roar." Additionally, United Airlines plans to launch flights to San Francisco by March 30, 2027.

This expansion follows the return of Delta Air Lines to Israel in September. The addition of these carriers has increased the number of companies flying the route from two to five. "Israir" also launched a new route to New York. The increased competition is reportedly leading to more reasonable ticket prices.
