El Al was completely owned by the Israeli government, but a move to privatize began on June 12, 2003 when its shares debuted on the Tel Aviv stock exchange. The airline is renowned for the thorough security on its check-ins and planes and is thought to be the world's most secure airline. El Al currently employs a fleet of about 30 aircraft, all Boeings (737, 747, 757, 767, and 777 models).
