El Al

Background
El Al was the national airline of Israel. The Office exercised some control over its operations.

Ari Shamron ordered that an El Al flight "develop engine trouble" to allow Gabriel Allon time to board the flight.

Gabriel Allon, escorted by Mikhail Abramov, was extracted from Ukraine on an El Al flight after he had been expelled from Russia by Grigori Bulganov. Chiara Zolli filled a position as a cabin attendant on the flight.
