US carrier Delta Airlines is adding 4 more weekly flights between Tel Aviv and New York from May 2016. The four new flights will depart New York's JFK airport on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and bring the total number of weekly flights between JFK and Ben Gurion airport to 11.
Delta Airlines senior vice president, Europe, Middle East and Africa Nat Pieper said, "From next summer Delta will offer more than 2,300 additional seats per week on the Tel Aviv-New York route, one of our biggest Trans-Atlantic routes, and this is in response to customer demand to expand this service."
Pieper added that Delta customers landing at JFK can continue on to more than 60 other destinations in the US including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Orlando.
Delta said that prices for night flights next May start at $1,085. No price has yet been quoted for morning flights.
