April 16, 2026

Great news for travelers flying to Israel! El Al Airlines has announced a significant expansion of its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet as part of a major strategic initiative.

El Al CEO Dudi Mayan called this move “a central part of our strategy to build a modern, profitable, and market-leading airline.” The expansion is designed to increase flight capacity, improve profitability, and enhance the overall passenger experience for international travelers.

This fleet expansion is particularly good news if you’re planning a trip to Israel, as it means El Al will likely offer more flight options and improved service on their long-haul routes. The Dreamliner 787 is known for its passenger comfort features, including better air pressure, humidity control, and larger windows – making those long flights to Ben Gurion Airport more comfortable.

Planning your Israel adventure? This expansion suggests El Al is investing in better service and more capacity, which could mean more competitive pricing and flight availability in the coming months. Keep an eye on their route announcements as they integrate these new aircraft into their international schedule.
