Other major US carriers have also prolonged disruptions to flights serving Israel. United Airlines has extended its suspension of flights from New York to Tel Aviv through at least September 7, while Delta Air Lines has cancelled services to Tel Aviv until September 5.
The continued suspension of US airline operations has left travellers increasingly reliant on Israeli carriers El Al and Arkia for direct flights between Ben Gurion Airport and the United States.
