Flights will resume from Atlanta beginning on April 15, 2026, operating three times a week on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Delta announced it is resuming its flights from Atlanta to Tel Aviv in an effort to expand its trans-Atlantic network.

The airline is restoring the nonstop service from other key U.S. hubs to Israel as well, including Boston and New York.

Flights will resume from Atlanta beginning on April 15, 2026, operating three times a week on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Daily service from Boston begins on October 24, 2026.

Both flights will feature Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort, and Delta Main products.

"I want to thank Delta for resuming nonstop service between Atlanta and Tel Aviv, providing a direct connection between the State of Georgia and one of our strongest allies," said Georgia Governor Brian Kemp in a release. "This flight is important to so many in our state, further strengthening the cultural and economic ties between Georgia and Israel.”

Delta recently resumed flights to Tel Aviv from New York-JFK on September 1, 2025. A second daily frequency between New York-JFK and Tel Aviv will be available from November 30, 2025 until January 19, 2026, to meet winter travel demands.

United Airlines Resumes Flights To Israel, Delta Follows Suit For First Time Since Oct 7

Delta Airlines and United Airlines have resumed flights to and from Israel for the first time since the October 7 Hamas terror assault and subsequent war in Gaza.

United Airlines resumed its Newark-Tel Aviv service on Thursday, with daily flights that, according to reports, it hopes to increase to twice-daily later in the month.

The airline briefly renewed flights in March, only to suspend them again a month later due to Iran’s unprecedented direct attack on Israel.

Following suit a day later, Delta Airlines has now resumed its direct flights to Israel, which will depart once a day from New York’s JFK airport.

The route will be flown on an Airbus A330-900neo, allowing for close to 2,000 people to travel with the airline to Israel each week.

“The decision to resume the route on June 7, 2024, which was temporarily suspended in October 2023, follows an extensive security risk assessment by the airline,” the airline says. “Delta continues to closely monitor the situation in Israel in conjunction with government and private-sector partners.”
