EL AL ISRAEL AIRLINES ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF NEW PRESIDENT

The Board of Directors of EL AL Israel Airlines has announced the appointment of Brigadier General Elyezer Shkedi as the airline’s new president & CEO. Shkedi will replace Haim Romano, who has resigned after holding that position for the past five years.

"I see the leadership of EL AL as a compelling challenge and I love challenges,” says Brigadier General Elyezer Shkedi. “I believe that EL AL is a strategic asset to the State of Israel and has meaningful significance for all Israelis and for people around the globe."

Shkedi, who is a fighter pilot, will prepare to take over as president in January of 2010. He holds a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Mathematics and Computer Science from Ben Gurion University in Israel and a Masters of Arts (MA) in Systems Management from the Naval Post Graduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California.
