EL AL Israel Airlines is known as the safest airline in the world. Today the Israeli flag carrier finalized an agreement for up to 31 737 MAX jets, supporting the airline’s plans to renew its fleet of Next-Generation 737 airplanes.
The 737 MAX has been at the center of controversy due to safety and security concerns in the United States.
It appears this is a good sign for Boeing in rebuilding confidence in its unsafest production line. It’s not just an airline- it’s Israel after all.
“This is a significant milestone for EL AL, which will allow us to offer our customers the most advanced service and technology experience in the industry,” said Dina Ben-Tal Ganancia. CEO EL AL Israel Airlines. “The implementation of the long-term procurement plan, which began with the purchase of additional 787 Dreamliners earlier this year and culminates in the current deal, once again demonstrates our commitment to the Israeli public and the state.”
Ben-Tal Ganancia added: “EL AL has a central role in ensuring open skies for Israel. The implementation of our strategic plan – which aims to expand the fleet, increase the value proposition for customers, and increase capacity and seating – will ensure a strong and growing company for many years to come.”
