He said that “what Israel has invested to secure its flights and safeguard passengers off Israeli planes is next to nothing compared to what Israel will have to invest for similar security for planes and passengers after the Libyan plane downing.” El Al, which resumed normal flights after mechanical supervisors ended a four-day strike, is taking maximum precautionary steps to assure the safety of all flights, it was disclosed.
