Arkiabegan has launched its inaugural service from Tel Aviv to New York JFK, marking a new long-haul airline route for the United States. The service began on February 8, utilizing a 4.7-year-old A330-900 aircraft leased from Iberojet. Arkia's collaboration with TechAir aims to offer competitive fares due to reduced competition caused by the ongoing conflict. However, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines plan to resume their services in March and April, respectively.

The flight is currently available for booking until June 30 and operates three times a week. When United and Delta return, there will be 246 departures between Tel Aviv and New York JFK/Newark in May, a record number of flights for this route.

Breeze Airways has initiated 11 new routes over two days, between February 5 and 7. These routes are served twice weekly, with six originating from Tweed New Haven to various destinations including Charleston and Sarasota. On four of these routes, Breeze faces direct competition from Avelo Airlines. Additionally, Breeze launched other routes such as Fort Myers-South Bend and Orlando-Gulfport/Biloxi.
