Delta Air Lines Announces Change to Winter Schedule With Added New York to Tel Aviv Flights
The summer travel season is here, but for those in the travel industry, it's actually time to look to the fall and winter travel periods. By the time June hits, airlines and staffers are already prepping for traveling during the colder months, which includes the busy holiday travel period.
Delta Air Lines helps around 200 million travelers fly to more than 350 destinations each year. The airline, which is headquartered in Atlanta, calls itself the "leading global airline," with a mission to connect the world, which "creates opportunities, fosters understanding and expands horizons by connecting people and communities to each other and to their own potential."
Now, Delta has announced a subtle but important change to its winter schedule.
The change impacts travelers flying out of the popular John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York.
From Nov. 30, 2025, through Jan. 19, 2026, Delta will offer a second daily frequency between JFK and Tel Aviv "to support increased demand during the winter travel season." The route will use Delta's Airbus A330-900neo offering four product experiences in Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort and Delta Main.
Delta had stopped flights to Tel Aviv for a period of time but started service up again on May 20, after what they called "an extensive security risk assessment by the airline."
"Delta is continuously monitoring the evolving security environment and assessing operations based on security guidance and intelligence reports," they added. "Any further updates to operations will be shared on Delta News Hub."
In other news, on May 29, Delta announced that they had started a new nonstop flight from Boston to Barcelona, strengthening the airline's footprint in Spain and giving travelers another way to get to this Spanish tourist spot. The new route is available three times weekly and joins Delta's existing service to Barcelona from JFK, which is offered 12 times weekly, and Atlanta, which is available 10 times a week.
