In a meeting held by Transportation Minister Miri Regev with senior officials from United Airlines, the company announced that the groundwork has been completed between United representatives and the Ministry of Transportation for the resumption of direct flights from Chicago and Washington to Israel, starting from November 1.

The meeting was attended by the CEO of the Ministry of Transportation, Moshe Ben-Zaken, and the manager of the Israel Airports Authority, Shmuel Zakai. The company's executives noted that the trust and cooperation with the Ministry of Transportation have strengthened during the war period, and they are committed to further expanding flight routes to Israel from additional destinations in the United States.

The resumption of flights from Chicago and Washington proves that Israel remains connected to the world even in challenging times. The Ministry of Transportation will continue to work to strengthen the aviation system, expand ties with international companies, and ensure reliable and safe service for Israeli citizens."
