On 28 March it pushed the restart to 5 September, and simultaneously suspended Atlanta&ndash;Tel Aviv and postponed the planned Boston service indefinitely.

The airport fully reopened on 9 April 2026, but for months afterwards the foreign carriers stayed away. Photo: Yair-haklai, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What Happens When the Foreign Airlines Leave<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The most interesting part of this story is not Delta. It is the hole Delta left.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ben Gurion handled 19.16 million passengers in 2025 &mdash; about 77 per cent of its 2019 figure, and a 33 per cent year-on-year recovery on international traffic. Then the war restarted. March 2026 traffic was 203,256 passengers, down 85.1 per cent. April was 501,224, down 74 per cent. The airport fully reopened on 9 April, but reopening an airport and getting airlines to use it are different problems.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Into that vacuum went El Al. Its share of international passengers at Ben Gurion had been around 20 per cent before the wars and 37.4 per cent in 2025. In April 2026 it peaked at 68.15 per cent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fares behaved exactly as you would expect. In August, Tel Aviv to New York on Israeli carriers was going for more than $2,000, against under $1,200 six months earlier. Delta&rsquo;s September round-trips opened around $2,680 and were down near $1,550 by late October.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #d32f2f;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;The entire period was characterized by instability and a need for certainty in the ability to fly from place to place, and many consumers had no choice but to pay the prices charged by El Al for fear of flight cancellations [by foreign airlines], while others had no choice but to give up flying.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Michal Cohen<\/strong> &mdash; Head of the Israel Competition Authority, 8 February 2026<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n<p>In February the Competition Authority moved to fine El Al roughly 121 million shekels &mdash; about $39 million &mdash; for excessive and unfair pricing on at least 38 of 53 routes during the October 2023 to May 2024 period. That is the shape of the problem: when foreign carriers go, the national carrier is the only lifeline and also the only price-setter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The Return Is Not Complete<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Delta is not alone. United resumes Newark&ndash;Tel Aviv twice daily with 787s from 8 September, and adds San Francisco three times a week from March 2027. American Airlines is not expected back before 27 March 2027.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>European carriers went back sooner. Lufthansa, SWISS, ITA, Austrian, Air France, Wizz Air, Etihad and flydubai are all operating alongside El Al, Arkia, Israir and Air Haifa. British Airways, Iberia, Air Canada, Ryanair and easyJet are still out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>And Ben Gurion itself is not back to normal. In late May its director general described the airport as operating at a third of its capacity and at the limit of what it could do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;We are only utilizing one-third of the airport&rsquo;s operational capacity.

That last figure is the one to watch. It is the clearest single measure of whether Israeli aviation is normalising, and it moves only when foreign airlines actually fly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>One A330neo on a Sunday afternoon is not a recovery. But it is a data point, and after six months there had not been many.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4SPvzhsPrJI\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<p>A trip report from the last Delta A330-900neo service into Tel Aviv before the February suspension.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>Has Delta resumed flights to Tel Aviv?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Yes.
