Israel's El Al to tackle 'discrimination' after criticism
El Al says it will take a firmer stand against what critics say is discrimination after the airline moved 2 female passengers under pressure from ultra-Orthodox travellers. El Al CE Gonen Usishkin said Monday that he had ordered that "any traveller who refuses to sit next to another traveller will be immediately removed from the flight." That statement comes after the airline moved 2 female passengers last week after male ultra-Orthodox travellers refused to sit next to them. Similar incidents have previously been reported. The latest incident sparked criticism from NICE, an Israel-based software company, which said it would not fly with El Al until it stopped the practice. The company said "we don't do business with companies that discriminate." <br/>
