El Al flight lands at Tel Aviv destination after bomb threat

An El Al Boeing 747 flight from New York arrived at its Tel Aviv destination on Tuesday after a bomb risk drove France and Switzerland to send warplanes to escort the Israeli carrier over their domain.

No crisis was pronounced at Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion air terminal, where the El Al plane touched down, a Reuters TV cameraman at the scene said.

Sky Guide, a Swiss air route administration supplier, said the bomb danger was gotten when the El Al air ship was over France. It said the flight was joined by French contender planes before it crossed into Swiss air space.

An El Al representative declined to give insights about what she portrayed as a mysterious danger, or remark on why the aircraft, considered a standout amongst the most security-cognizant on the planet, had not picked a crisis arrival in transit to Tel Aviv.

Suggesting the topic of whether the carrier had esteemed the danger believable, she said: "You can comprehend all alone, if the plane (proceeded) on its way."
