A record number of flights and passengers were set Monday by El Al as it continued to be the only airline servicing Ben Gurion Airport because of the continued fighting in Cyprus. El Al registered 19 take-offs and 14 landings, carrying 4000 persons out of the country and 3000 in. All scheduled flights were maintained except for those going to Turkey and Iran. Other airlines may resume flights Monday night if the cease-fire in Cyprus goes into effect.
