American Airlines extended the cancellation of all flights to Ben-Gurion Airport until at least March 2027, N12 News reported on Sunday.

The US carrier has not operated its route from New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) to Tel Aviv since October 2023 following the Hamas-led October 7 massacre.

The Jerusalem Post’s investigation shows that no one-way flights are available on the route until at least March, with availability appearing to return in the beginning of April 2027, as of the time of writing.

According to the airline’s website, a waiver remains in place for all passengers affected by the cancellations, with options available for free changes or full refunds.

The airline has also canceled its flights to Doha, Qatar, until at least January 2027, citing regional unrest, with similar options available for affected passengers.

In October 2025, the carrier announced it planned to resume flights to Israel in March 2026, including a planned route from Los Angeles to Tel Aviv. However, the operations never materialized.

Delta Air Lines, United Airlines expected to return by year’s end

Competing US carriers Delta Air Lines and United Airlines have also canceled Israel flights, though both are expected to return prior to the end of 2026, with both having operated the flights intermittently since the October 7 attacks, halting them as regional tensions developed.

In addition, American Airlines operated a route from Miami to Tel Aviv in the past, though the route was canceled prior to October 2023 due to operational reasons, leaving Israeli carrier El Al the only operator on the route.
