The first Dreamliner for El Al landed at Tel Aviv airport

Today will be written in capital letters in the history of El Al Israel Airlines (El Al Israel Airlines Ltd). At 11:18 after nearly 12 and half an hour later, Boeing 787-9 landed 4X-EDA at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.
This is the first Dreamliner from a 16-piece package that was ordered by the airline earlier. This year the airline will receive another one. The remaining 14 aircraft will be delivered gradually by 2020.

The aircraft is in configuration for 282 passengers, of which 32 in the business class, 28 in the premium economy class and 222 in the economy class.

Business class

The business class offers passengers full-flat seats over standard lengths of up to 2 meters. The seat layout is 1-2-1, so every passenger has trouble-free access to the aisle. Despite the fact that Dreamliner is not equipped with first-class seats, compared to the first class of Boeing 777-200 and Boeing 747-400 of this Israeli carrier, the new business class offers higher quality travel. Of course, you can connect to wireless internet and watch more than 150 movies in the onboard IFE on a 16 “display.

The premium economy class is no new to El Al. It provides it in all wide-bodied aircraft. The seat layout is 2-3-2 and the distance between the seats is up to 38 “, which is 8” (20cm) more than the distance of the seats in the tourist class.

The economy class will offer 9 seats in a row in the configuration (3-3-3) and the distance between the 31 “seats.

With Dreamliner, we will be meeting in early autumn on London and later on New York – Newark (EWR)
