Singer Hanan Ben Ari announced Tuesday that he is ending his four-year partnership with El Al, Israel's national airline. Ben Ari, who became a prominent face for the company, shared his departure on Instagram, stating, "So for four years I was the proudest frequent flyer, and now I choose to end on a high note. Thanks to my friends at El Al! In exchange for flight tickets, I promise to save you a front-row seat at my shows. May we continue to take off."

The collaboration began in 2023 when El Al selected Ben Ari as its first brand ambassador as part of a new branding initiative. Research conducted by the airline indicated that 84% of respondents associated Ben Ari with Israeli identity and 91% saw him as representing "what is good and beautiful about Israelis." At the campaign's launch, Ben Ari humorously remarked that he was not bought with money but enticed with frequent flyer points.

Over the nearly four years, the partnership expanded to include various campaigns where Ben Ari and his songs became integral to El Al's advertising. Notably, he participated in a campaign with his mother, Leah Ben Ari, focusing on benefits for reservists, and in other initiatives highlighting Israeli identity, sports, and connection to the country.
