After more than eighteen months of absence shaped by war and uncertainty, American aviation is quietly returning to Tel Aviv — Delta Air Lines leading the way with daily JFK service beginning April 1, 2025. The resumption is less a declaration of normalcy than a careful step toward it, taken while United and American still hold back, and while EL AL — the carrier that held the route alone through the conflict — retains a market dominance built in the shadow of crisis. Aviation, like history, does not simply resume; it negotiates its way back.
