Key Takeaways:

Delta is adding a second nonstop daily flight between New York and Tel Aviv, Israel, next winter.

The airline announced Thursday that the flight between JFK and Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport will operate from Nov. 30, 2025, through Jan. 19, 2026, to accommodate increased demand during the season. It currently flies between the two cities once a day, year-round.

Delta will operate the route using an Airbus A330-900neo with four seating options: Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort, and Delta Main.

Delta restarted service between New York and Tel Aviv on May 20 following an “extensive security risk assessment.” The route had been temporarily suspended due to conflicts in the region.

The airline said it is “continuously monitoring the evolving security environment and assessing operations based on security guidance and intelligence reports.”
