Israeli flag-carrier El Al has named Yitzhak Eliav as its new chief financial officer, following the departure of Dganit Palti last year.
He took up the post on 4 January, the airline states.
Eliav was formerly the head of finance and vice-president of operations at Avgol Industries, a specialist manufacturer of non-woven fabrics for the hygiene market.
He was also previously a senior finance executive at Israeli clothing and apparel retailer Fox-Wizel.
Eliav’s appointment is the latest part of a top-level management overhaul at El Al, following the change of controlling shareholder last year.
This shake-up will include the replacement of the flag-carrier’s chief executive, Gonen Usishkin, with Avigal Soreq at the end of January.
