We were honored to participate in the annual initiative organized by the "Larger Than Life" nonprofit known as the "Train of Smiles," dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for children battling cancer and their families and bringing smiles to their faces.

This year, in light of the challenging circumstances, the event was aptly renamed the "Train of Hope." It served as a beacon of hope for children and families facing the dual challenges of battling cancer while navigating the additional complexities of the current situation.

The day was full of Purim festivities and started at Savidor Central Train Station in Tel Aviv and continued aboard the Train of Hope to Be'er Sheva, which included a delicious meal, musical performances, and the chance to meet beloved children's entertainers.

Our team was thrilled to be a part of this meaningful event and to embark on a journey of hope aboard the Train of Smiles, especially during these trying times. We hope for the good health of all those who participated.

We continue standing alongside the families of the hostages and supporting their global awareness campaign. Yesterday, we embarked on a special flight to New York, carrying around 100 family members who will testify at the UN about the crimes committed by Hamas.

During the flight, Jewish-American actor Michael Rapaport communicated through the cockpit with Jordan Gonen, sister of Romy, still held by Hamas, and Ilan Tis, daughter of Keith Siegel, who remains in captivity. Rapaport spoke words of encouragement, providing strength for their crucial mission at the UN.

To amplify global awareness, we named the departure flight LY157 to signify the number of days the hostages have been held. The return flight, LY134, denotes the count of hostages we still await.

Our pilots communicated these flight numbers with international air traffic control, serving as a poignant reminder to the world that 134 Israeli men and women have been held captive by Hamas for over five months, and demanding their immediate return.

It is an honor to accompany these families, offering unwavering support and we eagerly await the swift return of all the hostages.

We are happy to announce that another 777 aircraft is returning to active service in our fleet after a prolonged period of inactivity.

As we consistently strive to enhance your flight experience, we extend a warm invitation for you to fly the flag.

This morning we took off to Amsterdam on a special flight with more than a hundred representatives of the families of the hostages who are on their way to The Hague, where they will file a lawsuit against the leaders of Hamas for the brutal acts they committed on October 7.

The flight's number was LY131, to mark the 131 days that the hostages have been held by Hamas in Gaza. The flight number back to Israel will be LY134, as a tribute to the 134 people still being held hostage.

EL AL pilots will use these numbers in contact with the various global air traffic control units throughout the flights to remind the world that we are all awaiting the return of the hostages as soon as possible.

EL AL stands by the Hostage and Missing Families Forum and has supported their work to raise awareness around the hostages in Israel and around the world, and continues to fly the families on global diplomatic missions.

116 days without music: yesterday we flew the yellow sign “YOU ARE NOT ALONE” to New York, an initiative started by the family of Alon Eyal, who was taken hostage from the Nova festival on October 7th and is still held in Gaza. The sign will be part of various events happening on behalf of Israel in Jewish communities.

Alon, 22, was always connected to music. He played the piano and planned to move to Tel Aviv and start studying music at the Rimon School of Music. Since Alon has been in captivity, his family opted to channel positive energy through music to bolster Alon’s spirits.

As part of these efforts, they positioned a grand piano with a yellow sign reading "YOU ARE NOT ALONE" in Hostage Square, inviting passers-by to play and raise awareness for Alon and all remaining hostages. This musical endeavor transcended Israel's borders, and the piano has traveled to Amsterdam and Berlin, where it was displayed in the James Simon Gallery.

Last night, the sign has been positioned on a dedicated piano in New Jersey at a fundraising event organized by the Jewish company. After that, it will travel to Times Square in New York.

Spreading warmth and cheer: Our dedicated flight attendants recently visited Tel Hashomer Hospital, bringing a touch of blue and white spirit to different departments, specifically the rehabilitation center for injured IDF soldiers.

The soldiers, families, visitors, and medical staff welcomed them with love and gratitude.

We wish a swift recovery to all those healing in body and soul.

To commemorate the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, observed yesterday, we had the honor of hosting 17 Holocaust survivors and their families last Thursday. As part of their visit, we organized a special tour aboard one of our aircraft, offering a peek into the world of aviation.

The experience included training sessions led by EL AL pilots in the cockpit, engaging musical performances, and thought-provoking quizzes for the kids.

Following the tour, we extended our hospitality by hosting the survivors and their families for a heartfelt dinner at the EL AL headquarters. The evening was enriched by a lecture from EL AL Captain Ofer Aloni, who shared insights and stories. As a token of our appreciation, we also presented a modest gift to express our gratitude and respect.

Two-year-old Almog, who tragically lost his mother Einav on October 7, and whose father Or was taken hostage in Gaza, finds comfort in a teddy bear symbolizing their home and his father.
Since that fateful day, Michael Levy, Or's brother, carries the teddy bear everywhere, serving as a poignant reminder that Or is still being held hostage.
In a heartfelt gesture, echoing the cultural traditions of Portugal, where
images of leaders or saints are transferred from village to village, we have
arranged for a special guest on one of our flights to Portugal – Almog's teddy bear.
Accompanied by our dedicated air and ground teams, the bear has journeyed to the Israeli Embassy in Portugal. There, in accordance with the cherished local tradition, it will be passed from house to house, accompanied by prayers
for Or's safe return home.

2023 was a deeply painful year for our country as we mourned the death of our loved ones and the kidnapping of hostages, some of whom are still not home.
We joined the national effort from the start of the war, and once again, we have demonstrated our reliability during emergencies.
In this past year, we introduced a company rebrand, launched a new Matmid frequent flyer club loyalty program, expanded our network of attractive destinations, continued our fleet expansion, enhanced our digital interfaces, introduced new menus by Chef Assaf Granit, received consistent recognition with the highest five-star rating in inflight service by the APEX global rating for the third consecutive year, and much more.
Last year, we transported over 5.5 million passengers in 30,000 flights to different destinations.
We want to thank you for choosing to fly with us throughout 2023. Your trust allows us to continue serving you with pride, both in times of ease and challenge. As we face a challenging and complex period ahead, we will continue investing, innovating, and improving to meet your expectations and provide unparalleled service.

Today marks 100 days since the hostages were taken by Hamas in Gaza. As a sign of solidarity with the families of the hostages, we engaged various activities to heighten global public awareness of their plight.
Notably, we have mobilized to fly an hourglass to the UN building in New York, underscoring the urgency faced by the hostages in Gaza.
Further, our flagship flight, LY001 from Tel Aviv to New York, scheduled for today, has been renumbered as LY100, marking 100 days without the hostages. The flight was operated by our aircraft named "Jerusalem of Gold," carrying the message "STAND WITH ISRAEL," which was affixed last month.

Additionally, we updated our website to reflect this solemn day, and a dedicated announcement will be broadcasted today on all flights, telling the stories of the 136 hostages to thousands of passengers in Israel and around the world.

EL AL stands united in support of the hostages and their families, working tirelessly to raise awareness globally for their safe and swift return to Israel.

A remarkable journey comes full circle: Irving Matlov, a 96-year-old born into a Zionist Jewish family in Canada, volunteered exactly 75 years ago at the age of 21 to fight in the War of Independence, contributing to the establishment of the State of Israel alongside fellow Jewish volunteers worldwide.

After the war, he returned to manage the family business in Canada, always holding onto the dream of making aliyah to Israel.

This week, he decided to realize that dream and made the journey to Israel, especially during these days - a collaborative effort between us, the Jewish Agency, and Nefesh B'Nefesh.

Irving, we are delighted to welcome you here.
