The first flight from New York will depart on September 17th. Initially, there will be three flights a week. By the end of October, the company plans to operate one flight every day.
Due to the war with Iran, American airlines stopped flying to Israel. Now, Delta and United are also resuming their direct flights. Competition is increasing, but ticket prices are not expected to drop in the coming weeks. An Israir one-way ticket is expected to cost from $950.
