Three-times-weekly service from Atlanta will launch on April 15, 2026, operating on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Daily service from Boston will commence about six months later, on Oct. 24.

Flights from Atlanta will use an Airbus A350-900 aircraft, while flights from Boston will operate with an A330-900neo.

Delta resumed flying between New York-JFK and Tel Aviv in September. It temporarily canceled the service in June due to fighting between Israel and Iran.

The airline will operate a second daily service between New York and Tel Aviv between Nov. 30 and Jan. 19, 2026, to meet increased travel demand.
