United Airlines announced plans to resume flights to Tel Aviv, Israel, from Chicago and Washington, D.C. in November.

Flights to Tel Aviv from Chicago O'Hare International Airport are expected to launch on November 1 and will operate four times per week. The service from Washington Dulles International Airport will begin on November 2 and operate three times per week.

When the flights relaunch, United will be the only airline operating flights between Tel Aviv and both Chicago and Washington, D.C.

“The resumption of these flights underscores United's longstanding commitment to Tel Aviv,” United senior vice president of Global Network Planning and Alliances, Patrick Quayle, said.

The airline currently offers twice daily flights between Tel Aviv and Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, with United flying to Tel Aviv more than any other carrier in the United States.

United officials revealed that service to Tel Aviv follows a detailed assessment of operational, safety, and security considerations in the region.
