Arkia is expanding its New York – Tel Aviv service ahead of the peak summer travel
period, adding capacity and introducing upgraded aircraft as demand for the route
continues to climb.
During August and September, the airline will increase its service to JFK / Ben
Gurion Airport on Mondays and Wednesdays. The flights will be operated on Boeing
787-9 Dreamliner aircraft featuring 345 seats in Economy and Premium. Wi-Fi will
be available for purchase on board.
The route will receive a further upgrade beginning September 11, 2026, with an
Airbus A330-300. The new aircraft includes 46 Business Class seats and 203
Economy seats, offering passengers a more spacious and comfortable flight
experience. An English-speaking Israeli crew will be present on every flight.
With more seats, upgraded aircraft and an enhanced premium offering, Arkia is
aiming to make its flagship U.S. route a stronger and more attractive option for
travelers.
