EL AL Flights for Disabled

EL AL makes every effort to provide the best possible service for all its passengers. That is why we place special emphasis on EL AL flights for disabled passengers and have designated a special unit to be responsible for assisting these passengers.

EL AL flights for disabled passengers departing from Ben-Gurion Airport:
Passengers are requested to use the special unit check-in counters, numbers 98-99 in section D.
At counters 98-99 they will be assisted by members of the special unit as they go through flight check-in. Buggies, wheelchairs and other equipment are available at these counters for the passengers' use. We will be happy to be of assistance, through this special unit, to passengers requiring medical flights: arrival by ambulance as well as stretcher transport.

EL AL flights for disabled passengers arriving at Ben-Gurion Airport:
A passenger escort awaits passengers at the entrance to the plane – based on passenger information sent by telegram from the departure station – to escort these passengers from their seats on the plane, through border control to the luggage retrieval hall and to the arrivals hall.

*Passengers are requested to remain seated on the plane until a ground crew representative arrives.

* It is very important to inform your travel agent or the EL AL reservations clerk, well in advance, so that we can make the necessary arrangements and provide the best possible service.


The U.S. Department of Transportation has published regulation No.14 CFR Part 382: "Non discrimination on the basis of Disability in Air Travel", which will become effective as of May 13, 2009.
The regulation applies on EL AL only with regard to flights that begin or end at a U.S. airport.
