The ages of the immigrants ranged from 9 months to 72. Among the immigrants were five doctors and 19 medical professionals.

Employees of the Ministry of Immigration and Absorption were also on the plane – in order to save on bureaucracy and ease the first days of acclimatization, during the flight the employees completed the full absorption process together with the immigrants, in which all the required forms were filled out and immigrant certificates were even issued.
