United Airlines to resume San Francisco-Tel Aviv flights in March 2027
For the first time since flights connecting Israel and the Bay Area were canceled following the October 7, 2023 war in Gaza, the direct route will resume on March 28, 2027, with three flights a week
United Airlines will resume direct flights from San Francisco to Tel Aviv on March 28, 2027, with three flights a week. This route was previously canceled following the October 7, 2023 war in Gaza, according to Haaretz.
United Airlines has announced the addition of 10 new international routes, citing strong travel demand despite inflation. The new routes include destinations such as Sardinia in Italy, Ibiza in Spain, Luxembourg, and Marseille, where no US carrier currently has non-stop service.
The expansion includes a four-times weekly trip from Newark, New Jersey to Ljubljana, Slovenia, which was described by United Senior Vice President Patrick Quayle as a route that "doesn't fit easily into an Excel spreadsheet". Some of the new routes will utilize the Airbus A321XLR, which enables single-aisle jets to operate on international routes typically served by widebodies.
