Israeli airline installs anti-missile systems on jets

El Al Israel Airlines will install anti-missile systems on six passenger jets that fly to areas where the al Qaida terror network has been active, an Israeli transportation official said today.

Installation of the £559,000 (€813,000) Flight Guard systems – meant to obstruct a ground-to-air missile fired at a plane – will begin in the coming days, said Yitzhak Raz, the project’s director at Israel’s Transportation Ministry.
