El Al says that an incident aboard one of its flights to Thailand over Somali airspace is not a security incident and is not targeted just at the Israeli national airline.

According to a statement from the airline carried by Ynet, El Al says that flights over Somalia have suffered disruptions in their radio connections and have been warned about this by the local government, and that “the disruptions are not aimed at [El Al] planes and it is not a security incident — the disruption did not affect the continuation of the flight.”
