OAG says NY-TLV is the most Underserved route in the US
I think this interesting - OAG says that NY-TLV is the most underserved route in the US because there were 239,000 one-stop tickets purchased for the route in addition to 432,000 non-stop tickets. However we also see that Delta's additional flight 4 times a week is being dropped in the fall. So not sure how that squares away with it being an underserved route.

Topping the list was Jakarta, Indonesia, to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with 280,000 one-stop bookings in 2015. The first U.S. market appears at number two, as some 239,000 one-stop ticket segments were purchased for flights between New York Kennedy and Tel Aviv. By comparison, 432,000 people flew nonstop between those two airports.

A flight in J from TLV-LAX can be $7,000 on LY vs. $3,500 on BA. More competition is definitely needed to narrow the gap. I don't mind paying a little more for a nonstop (see the suceess of UA's flight to SFO) but too much more and it's just begging for a stopover.

There's a thread on the BA board now about how BA are eliminating their redeye in favor of a late afternoon flight landing TLV at 00:45. This is the best route news I have heard all year since UA going daily to SFO.

I know this is obviously not true, but the Pakistani newspaper it comes from is a real newspaper, and seems to think the story is true, right down to quoting from Saudi officials (who may or may not be real).
Update: Now I see that the Pakistani newspaper was fooled by the website AWDNews which has often printed fake news articles claiming friendly relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
