United Airlines To Add Third Tel Aviv–New York Flight In 2026 Summer Schedule

United adds a third Tel Aviv–New York/Newark flight starting March 2026, offering up to four daily nonstop flights to the US next summer as part of its expanded transatlantic schedule, with more destinations than any other U.S. carrier.

United Airlines announced plans to introduce a third flight frequency between Tel Aviv and New York/Newark, beginning March 30, 2026. The new service will operate four times a week, joining United’s existing twice-daily flights on the route.

The addition comes as part of the airline’s newly revealed Summer 2026 schedule, which expands United’s transatlantic network with service to four new European destinations. United currently offers more flights from Tel Aviv than any other U.S. carrier and will remain the only airline flying from Israel to both Chicago and Washington, D.C., when those routes resume in November 2025.

“Our third frequency between Tel Aviv and New York/Newark gives customers in Israel even more choice,” said Marcel Fuchs, United’s managing director of international sales. “Next summer, we’ll offer up to four nonstop flights per day from Tel Aviv to the United States, with seamless connections to more than 100 destinations across the Americas.” United’s new Tel Aviv–New York/Newark flight (UA168/167) will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays aboard a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. Departures from Tel Aviv will leave at 12:55 a.m., arriving in Newark at 5:45 a.m., while return flights from Newark will depart at 8:20 p.m., arriving in Tel Aviv at 2 p.m. the following day.

The schedule expansion also includes new nonstop flights from New York/Newark to Split, Croatia; Bari, Italy; Glasgow, Scotland; and Santiago de Compostela, Spain. United will add new service between Washington/Dulles and Reykjavik, Iceland, and expand transpacific operations with year-round daily flights from New York/Newark to Seoul, South Korea. In summer 2026, United plans to serve 46 destinations across the Atlantic—more than any other U.S. airline—with over 800 weekly roundtrips. Globally, the carrier expects to operate more than 850 daily flights to and from over 150 international destinations, including 41 served exclusively by United.
