Delta Airlines is launching daily flights between Tel Aviv and Atlanta beginning Monday.
The airline is also considering scheduling flights between New York and Tel Aviv starting in 2007.
Delta Airlines executive VP and chief of network and revenue management Glen W. Hauenstein said that the airline is considering submitting an application to Israel's Tourism Ministry. Outgoing Minister of Tourism Abraham Hirchson said he would support an application.
Taiwan and Vietnam have agreed to expand flights between them on the back of booming trade and tourism, the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) said Saturday.
Under the new pact pending final approval from both governments, the seat capacity of Taiwanese airlines offering regular passenger flights to Ho Chi Minh City will nearly double to 11,000 a week from 6,010, the CAA said in a statement.
And the cargo flight capacity of Taiwan air carriers would be lifted from 600 tonnes a week to 1,000 tonnes, it said.
Taiwanese airlines would also be allowed to extend their flights from Vietnam to Europe while Vietnam Airlines would be allowed to extend its flights from Taipei to San Francisco or Los Angeles, it said.
