Airport Traffic On The Increase Jerusalem (JPFS) — A total of 6.8 million passengers passed through Ben-Gurion Airport last year, a 15 percent rise from 1994, according to figures re- leased recently by the Civil Avi- ation Administration (CAA). The increase, according to the administration's annual report, was the result of a rise in both the number of incoming tourists and of Israelis traveling abroad. The CAA noted that the local carriers — El Al and the Sun Dor and Arkia charter compa- nies — together enjoyed 46.8 percent of the market. El Al had an 18 percent in- crease in passengers from 1994, while the two charter companies together had 23 percent more. As expected, El Al was by far the largest carrier, with 2.8 mil- lion passengers, 41.1 percent of the total. In 1994, El Al carried 2.3 million passengers, or 40.3 percent of the total. The second-largest number of passengers was carried by TWA, which had 278,000, or 4.1 per- cent. Turkish Airlines was in third place with 273,000, or 4 percent. The fourth and fifth po- sitions were held by Lufthansa (235,000, 3.4 percent) and British Airways (226,000, 3.3 percent). Airlines showing large in- creases in traffic included Air Sinai, the Egypt Air subsidiary flying to Israel, which jumped 64 percent; Turkish Airlines, which showed a 27 percent rise; and the Romanian airline Tarom, which had 28 percent more passengers than in 1994. Airlines that began flying to Is- rael last year included World Airlines, Air Canada, JAT and Korean Air. Teva Purchases Biocraft Jerusalem (JPFS) — Teva Phar- maceutical Industries has signed an agreement to pur- chase Biocraft Laboratories, a major manufacturer and mar- keter of generic drugs in the United States, for $296 million in a deal involving an exchange of shares, the companies an- nounced. According to the agreement, Biocraft shareholders will own approximately 10.7 percent of Teva, equivalent to about 6.6 million Teva American Deposi- tory Shares after the transac- tion is completed. The companies agreed that Biocraft shareholders will re- ceive 0.461 Teva American De- pository Shares for each outstanding share of Biocraft common stock. Based on the closing price of Teva's ADR, Biocraft shareholders will re- ceive $20.86 per share of Biocraft stock. Teva said completion of the transaction is subject to the re- ceipt of regulatory approvals and the approval of Biocraft share- holders. Biocraft's principal stockholders, the Snyder fami- ly, who own about 60 percent of Biocraft outstanding shares, al- ready have an agreement with Teva, pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the merger. The companies anticipate that the transaction will be com- pleted in the second quarter of 1996.
