I plan on expanding the article very soon, but in the meantime please edit as you see fit. The sources provided contain most of the information available, and further research should bring up more. I couldn't find a picture of the actual flight so I stole an ordinary El Al 707 pic. Hope that's ok. Wikifan12345 (talk) 07:56, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work, wikifan. One question: re this sentence: "Following 40 days of negotiations, Israel secured the release of all the hostages and the hijackers" -- Did Israel secure the release of the hijackers as well as the hostages? If not maybe you would reword that part? Tundrabuggy (talk) 18:19, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. According to the second source, Israel managed the release of the hostages and the hijackers. The hijackers were freed and never faced criminal action. I would like to see sections and further details but at the moment I'm rather preoccupied. Wikifan12345 (talk) 19:17, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on El Al Flight 426 hijacking. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20080726184205/http://www.emergency-management.net/airterror_hijack.htm to http://www.emergency-management.net/airterror_hijack.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

– Generally, if there is a known flight number for an aviation accident or incident, then it should be used as the title with no further modifications (WP:AVTITLE). These flights don't seem to have any unique common names, so the flight numbers alone should be sufficient. Mr slav999 (talk) 18:50, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Support probably could have been requested at RMTR, but having a discussion doesn't hurt. 🐔 Chicdat  ^{Bawk to me!} 19:53, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Support: per above. Per WP:AVTITLE and reasons stated by @Mr slav999. Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 20:38, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No comment, except for the last one, which I oppose. It being moved there makes it sounds like it happened, when it was a plan that never went through. I have never liked the AVTITLE suggestions because it is contrary to WP:NCE, our naming conventions for events, which is an accepted guideline. It doesn't tell you what actually happened, a flight name can be anything. Did the plane get bombed or did it experience an accident and its wing fell off or what? The title tells you nothing. They are the least informative titles possible. But this is for some reason how most pages do it so I won't oppose the rest. PARAKANYAA (talk) 04:31, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Support all except AI112 per WP:AVTITLE and PARAKANYAA. S5A-0043🚎^{(Leave a message here)} 23:58, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose The TWA ones - the extra term is a form of WP:NATURALDIS and IMO more WP:RECOGNIZABLE than the year. Oppose the last one per above. Weak support the others I guess. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 04:26, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
