Founded first in 1948, El Al has grown into an impressive airline that serves over 50 destinations across Europe, Africa, Asia, as well as North and South America from its base, the Ben Gurion Airport. Considered one of the safest airlines in the world, due to its stringent security procedures, it is also the only commercial airline to provide built-in missile defense systems for its planes. Passengers fly with peace of mind, knowing they are onboard a craft, which has been named one of the safest in the world for nine consecutive years.
