EL AL NEWS For the first time in the world and on EL AL flights! Rummikub in the sky EL AL has partnered via joint venture with Kodkod Games, owner of the Rummikub brand in Israel, and Kinkajoo the international Rummikub franchise and app developer. A version of the popular game has been developed for in-flight entertainment systems, with EL AL becoming the first airline to launch the game onboard its aircraft - and the game immediately jumped to first place in games played onboard. It is currently only available on 787 fleet aircraft, and solely allows for passenger computer interaction, but future versions will enable games to be played between passengers on the same flight as well.

EL AL supports the Hayim Association for Children with Cancer in Israel, which has been operating since 1984 For almost four decades now, the association has been working towards a future in which all children affected by cancer are able to overcome the disease, receive the best medical care available, and enjoy the highest quality of life possible while they do. It is managed by a volunteer management committee and a volunteer chairman. All members of the association do their work voluntarily and without any pay. The association cares for all sick children regardless of religion, race or gender. It is not funded by companies or public institutions and operates solely on the basis of donations. Sadly, cancer continues to hit new families every day, and the struggle is still very much ongoing. For donations and additional information about the association's activities and achievements: www.hayim.org.il
