Israel - El Al to Buy Advanced Passenger Plane in the World.
« on: July 08, 2007, 10:30:05 PM »
Israel - El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. is negotiating to buy two Boeing 787 Dreamliners, considered the most advanced passenger plane in the world. Sources say that the timing of El Al’s announcement is part of the competition between the airlines to fly the first Dreamliner.

El Al had an option to buy 14 787s, but unexpectedly cancelled the order in late 2006, apparently with the idea of leasing the planes instead of buying them.
Each Dreamliner costs $150 million, and can fly non-stop from Tel Aviv to Los Angeles or Sydney. [globes]

They could if their aircraft industry wasn't destroyed by US aid.

I'm pretty sure that El Al doesn't receive any money from the United States for passenger planes.  It's all funded by the government and El Al.  Anyways, flying from Tel Aviv straight to Los Angeles sounds great!  I always have to make a layover somewhere in Europe.  Too bad I don't ever fly El Al though, it's too expensive!

EL AL is the best though, security wise and service no question. I can understand why it might be more expensive.

Sure, there's no doubt about that.
