Delta Air Lines has said it will resume flights to Israel starting June 7, becoming the second major US carrier to do so following the Oct 7 attack by Hamas militants on southern Israel, Reuters reports.

Delta said it will begin daily flights between New York-JFK and Tel Aviv on an Airbus A330-900neo following an extensive security risk assessment by the airline.

United Airlines resumed flights to Israel earlier this month from Newark but does not plan to restart flights from other US cities until at least this fall.
