- The airline used the planes as a key element of Operation Solomon – a covert military operation which airlifted 14,500 Ethiopian Jews out of Addis Ababa and brought them to Israel in May 1990.
- The aircraft, which is being retired by airlines around the world, holds a particularly special place in the history of El Al.
