El Al purchases two 787-9s it was operating under lease

El Al, the Israeli flag carrier, finalized the purchase of two Boeing 787-9 aircraft during the second quarter of this year. These twinjets were previously operated by El Al under a leasing agreement. The airline’s strategic shift reflects an increased level of fleet ownership throughout the initial six months. Simultaneously, El Al signed agreements to acquire two leased 737-800s as part of its expansion plans. This move solidifies El Al's commitment to modernizing and growing its operational capabilities within the aviation industry.
