El Al continues to modernise fleet with 787s
AerCap has delivered the first of 4 Boeing 787-9s on long-term lease to El Al Israel Airlines. It will deliver the remaining 3 aircraft later this year. El Al has 16 787s on order, in a mix of -8 and -9 models, from either lessors or direct from the manufacturer. The airline is using the Boeing twinjet to replace its fleet of aging 747-400s and 767-300s. “The arrival of El Al’s eighth Dreamliner, combined with the phase-out of the last 767 at the end of this month, is another step towards modernising and greater efficiency of our fleet,” El Al CE Gonen Usishkin said. “The delivery of our first 787 to El Al heralds the next chapter in the long history of successful cooperation between our two companies,” AerCap CE Aengus Kelly added. <br/>
