Israir, an Israeli airline, has received authorization from American authorities to operate direct flights to New York City. This development comes amid a period when American airlines have largely suspended flights to Israel due to ongoing conflict, significantly impacting direct routes between New York and Israel. Prior to this, Greece was the most popular destination for Israelis after the United States. With the new approval, Israir's direct flights to Manhattan are set to commence, potentially altering the current dynamics of air travel and pricing between Israel and the US. The move is expected to provide Israelis with more travel options and could influence airfare costs on this route.
