El Al CEO Dina Ben Tal Ganancia says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s flight this week to Rome is fully staffed and will depart as scheduled — hours after no pilots had volunteered to fly the PM in an apparent protest.
“I will not allow any boycotts of any kind, and certainly not against the prime minister of Israel,” Ben Tal Ganancia says in a statement. “It is a great honor for us to fly the prime minister on diplomatic missions. We have always done so and will continue to do so.”
