EL AL Keeps Israel Connected to the World

At the start of the war, two EL AL 787 Dreamliners left New York and landed in Israel, transporting more than 30 tons of vital equipment, including medical and humanitarian supplies donated by associations such as ‘Israel Friends US’. The cargo was both loaded into the belly of the plane and stacked on plane seats and included millions of dollars’ worth of medical supplies such as oxygen masks, bandaging paraphernalia, IV equipment, and protective gear for soldiers. A further Dreamliner plane arrived from New York in November carrying tons of essential medical supplies and gear for IDF soldiers co-financed by the Phoenix Group, the Amudim organization and EL AL, including hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of essential supplies such as first aid kits, tourniquets, stretchers, protective and thermal gear for soldiers and supplies for the displaced families of the South.

The “Envelope of Israel” cargo plane officially joins the EL AL fleet

The “Envelope of Israel” Boeing 737 is a former passenger plane that was reconverted into cargo aircraft a few months ago. EL AL has also reconverted Boeing 777 planes from its fleet into cargo aircraft by temporarily removing passenger seats. These planes are set to carry 25-50 tons of cargo per flight. Since the start of the war, EL AL has increased cargo capacity on widebody passenger planes which can now carry more than 5,000 tons of cargo, including vital medical equipment donated in part by various organizations in Israel and the world.
