El Al Israel Airlines Ltd., the national airline of Israel, operates nearly 50 domestic and international destinations across various continents. The airline's main hub is Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv. El Al's fleet consists entirely of Boeing aircraft, including 51 planes with models such as the 737, 777, and 787 Dreamliners.
The carrier has a total of 16 Boeing 787 Dreamliners: four are the shorter 787-8 model with an average age of 5.1 years, while the remaining twelve are the longer 787-9 model averaging at 6.5 years old. Despite their modernity, these Dreamliners are not heavily utilized on one major route to Barcelona (BCN), Spain. Even though there can be up to two daily flights on this route, only a single flight will use a Boeing 787-9 for the rest of the year.
According to El Al: "As of April 2018, EL AL flies 42 aircrafts (including four of the 16 Dreamliners) to 37 direct destinations around the world and hundreds of connecting destinations. Recently, EL AL launched a new pricing model for Economy Class tickets to all European destinations, which allows passengers to choose from three different price packages to suit their needs. These flights will begin in October 2018."
