El Al Israel Airlines Ltd, trading as El Al is the flag carrier of the State of Israel. It operates scheduled international passenger and cargo flights between its hub at Ben Gurion International Airport, serving Tel Aviv, and destinations in Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, and North America, as well as domestic connections to Eilat. As of 2010, it operated an all-Boeing fleet of 43 aircraft, ranging from the 737-700 to the 747-400, including seven 747-200 operated by El Al Cargo. Its head office is located on the grounds of Ben Gurion International Airport. Since its inaugural flight from Geneva to Tel Aviv in September 1948 the airline has grown to serve 48 destinations on four continents. As the national carrier of Israel, El Al has played an important role in Israel's humanitarian rescue efforts, airlifting Jews from Ethiopia, Yemen, and other countries where their lives were at risk. The airline holds the world record for the most passengers on a commercial aircraft, a record set by Operation Solomon when Jewish refugees were transported from Ethiopia. El Al is widely acknowledged as the world's most secure airline, after foiling many attempted hijackings and terror attacks through its security protocols.
