Following the launch of Arkia Israeli Airlines’ new non-stop New York (JFK) – Tel Aviv service in February, the airline has made inventory available in agency GDSs for travel until October 23, 2025.

Arkia has started its new service with three flights per week, leaving TLV for JFK on a Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday and return flights from JFK on a Tuesday, Sunday, and Thursday (see schedule below). It is the airline’s first direct flight to the US.

The airline has also announced plans to introduce flights to more European holiday hotspots in Greece in the coming months, as well as Croatia, Hungary, Albania, and Spain (Madrid), giving customers traveling to and via Israel even greater choice and flexibility.

Travel planners have welcomed Arkia’s arrival in the US and the injection of much-needed seat capacity into the market.
