Following suspensions caused by regional conflict and safety concerns, international airlines are beginning to resume scheduled services to Israel.

KLM announced plans to restart daily flights between Amsterdam and Tel Aviv starting August 25, 2026. After a six-month suspension linked to security concerns regarding the conflict between Iran and Israel, the airline will implement specific safety protocols, including a technical stop in Larnaca, Cyprus, where crews will stay overnight. While service to Israel is returning, KLM is maintaining suspensions on other Middle Eastern routes, including Dubai, Riyadh, and Dammam, until at least October 24.

United Airlines has also announced it will resume service between Newark and Tel Aviv on September 8, 2026, operating two daily flights. Other major US carriers remain on different schedules, with Delta Air Lines expected to return in early September and American Airlines planning a resumption in March 2027.
