El Al inaugurated a state-of-the-art kosher meal production facility Wednesday at Ben-Gurion International Airport, marking a major expansion of the carrier’s in-flight dining capabilities.

The 14,000-square-meter complex—nearly double the capacity of the facility it replaces—can produce approximately 50,000 meals daily, substantially increasing the airline’s ability to serve its growing passenger base. The expansion allows El Al to broaden its culinary menu offerings while maintaining strict kosher certification standards.

“The new facility will allow us to expand the variety of meals served onboard, further improve product quality and elevate the culinary standard for El Al passengers,” the airline said in a statement announcing the opening.

With most major international carriers suspending service to Tel Aviv due to ongoing regional instability stemming from the war with Iran, El Al and a handful of other Israeli operators have assumed responsibility for the vast majority of flights connecting Israel to the international network.
