United Airlines is growing its presence in the Israeli market with new non-stop service between Tel Aviv and San Francisco. From March 30, 2016, the carrier will offer the direct route three times per week with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
“Providing corporate customers from throughout the Bay Area and Silicon Valley non-stop service to the high-tech market in Israel has been high on our priority list at United,” said Dave Hilfman, senior vice president of worldwide sales, United. “Now with the 787-9 Dreamliner, we’re delighted to make it a reality.”
From San Francisco (SFO), service will take off at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, landing in Tel Aviv (TLV) at 8:10 p.m. the next day. Flights to San Francisco will depart Tel Aviv at 12:55 a.m. on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, arriving on the West Coast at 6 a.m. the same day.
United has served Israel since 1999. The new route between San Francisco and Tel Aviv joins the airline’s existing twice-daily Boeing 777 non-stop flights between Tel Aviv and Newark (EWR).
The new flights will launch three months after American Airlines exits the Israeli market with its non-stop service between Tel Aviv and Philadelphia (PHL) in January 2016.

May 27, 2025Plan a Legendary Gathering in Honolulu
Myths and origin stories form a powerful framework for the history of Hawai‘i. Marking the horizon behind Honolulu, the ancient volcanic formation of Lē‘ahi — technically a volcanic tuff cone more commonly known to the world as Diamond Head — provides a constant physical reminder of the tales that shaped the history of this location. While researching legends for my Hawai‘i-based Dark Paradise Mysteries series (Kensington Books), I learned the tale of the demigod Maui, who used his enchanted fishing hook to reach into the sea to heave the Hawaiian islands, including Diamond Head, above the surface of the water.
