Due to the high level of security, to date only one flight could be hijacked and that too without any fatalities the passengers were rescued.
EL AL Airlines History:
In 1948 the first president of Israel Chaim Weizmann came for attending a conference in Geneva and was supposed to get back by an aircraft provided by the government but as Israel was under the imposition of embargo hence an Israeli C-54 military transport aircraft painted with the name EL AL National Aviation Company and it departed from the Ekron Air Base taking Chaim Weizmann back home. From carrying freight and cargo to transporting passengers, the company increased its activities in the market during 1950-1951 and listed in its destination spots few more places like Vienna, Istanbul, Athens, and Nicosia. It celebrated its anniversary on the 31st of July 1950. The airway has helped a lot in the rescue mission of Jews from other countries to Israel setting a record of carrying 1088 passengers in a single aircraft in 1991. The operation was called Solomon.
