El Al hopes to encourage tourists in Central America and in the northern part of South America to go to Israel by taking its weekly flight from Mexico City, David Dinour, the airline’s new director general for Mexico and Central America, said here. He said El Al, which has a flight to Israel every Wednesday from Mexico City, is cooperating with the Mexican national air companies which serves tourists between Mexico and Central and South America. Dinour said he believes many Christians in these countries will now use El Al to go directly to Israel.
