The guest list read like a ‘who’s who’ of the Jewish community which gathered together on Tuesday 23rd June to celebrate EL AL’s 60th anniversary of flying to London. The reception was held at the Zabludowicz Arts Projects in Chalk Farm, which was decked out in blue and white and images of the history of EL AL over the last 60 years brought from the archives in Tel Aviv.

Members of the Jewish community, Jewish organisations, EL AL’s top frequent flyers, travel agents, tour operators and the media mingled together to celebrate 60 years of uninterrupted services between London and Tel Aviv.

On behalf of the guests Geoffrey Ognall, Vice Chairman of the UJIA gave a heart felt response highlighting the special ties between EL AL, the Jewish community in the UK and Israel.
