Reply To: El Al Has Flights On Shavuos!

I remember many years ago, El Al operated a flight in to and out of Johannesburg on Yom tov sheni. Johannesburg Beth Din refused to provide hashgocho for the El Al kosher kitchen for the flight, and put notices in the press alerting the very traditional Jewish community that it was in breach of halacha. If I remember correctly, about 20 passengers were aboard the 747 when it left back to Israel.
