The problem is that when the new owners are not 'fans' of the government, they lose the business.gov! Israel's government signed several agreements that not longer consider ELAL as designated carrier. ELAL was not longer a government vehicle.

Airline control is transferred to private ownership – Following the exercise of additional options, on December 23, 2004 the holdings of Knafaim-Arkia Holdings Ltd. rose to 40% of the shares issued by the airline, and on January 6, 2005, following a decision taken at a meeting of stockholders convened at Knafaim's request, most of the members of the Board of Directors were replaced. As a result, control of the airline was transferred to Knafaim.
