El Al revamps passenger planes to carry cargo to Israel
The Boeing 737 "Otef Israel" has officially joined El Al's fleet as a cargo plane. The aircraft, which was originally a passenger plane, can carry 20 tons of cargo. It will make two daily flights to different locations in Europe, and made its debut flight on Tuesday to Frankfurt. El Al has also removed the passenger seats from one of its Boeing 777 planes, for the same purpose. It will be able to carry between 25 and 50 tons of cargo per flight. As part of the increase in cargo flights to Israel, the "Jerusalem of Gold" Dreamliner landed in Mumbai, India on Tuesday, where it was loaded with cargo to return to Israel. It was the first time in four years that an El Al flight had landed in India. <br/>
