American Airlines hasn’t flown to Israel in years, but recent moves suggest that may be changing. Will AA resume service between New York and Tel Aviv?

Still, hiring cabin crew fluent in Hebrew is not trivial. Airlines generally staff multilingual flight attendants when launching or relaunching routes to markets with distinct languages. If American does relaunch, New York–Tel Aviv seems the most logical candidate for return. It’s arguably the most stable, highest-demand U.S.–Israel corridor. AA, which faces aircraft shortages and takes a more conservative approach to its network, will likely start from one destination before adding multiple destinations to TLV.
