Israeli carrier EL AL announced details of its Boeing Dreamliner aircraft, part of its new path.

The carrier will take delivery of the first of its 16 new Boeing 787s in August. The aircraft is being rostered onto flights to Europe at the end of October before being integrated into the carrier’s long-haul destinations in North American and the Far East.

“I am proud to announce that following a year and a half of major preparations by all of us at EL AL in anticipation of the new Dreamliner’s arrival, EL AL is embarking on a new era,” said David Maimon, president and chief executive officer, EL AL. “The expected arrival of the new 787 aircraft will be the peak of EL AL’s renewal momentum, creating a revolution in customer experience across all flight interfaces. We continue to implement EL AL’s vision — to lead the aviation market in Israel and to be the first choice airline for all customers traveling to and from Israel, while providing quality and uncompromising service for the benefit of our customers.”

Dreamliner features include a new business-class seat from Recaro, converting into a lie-flat bed, and a brand-new premium-economy cabin with 38 inches of legroom. Economy will be a 3-3-3 setup, with 222 seats offering 31 inches of legroom and give inches of recline — except for 15 seats which offer 30 inches of legroom.

In-flight entertainment will be provided by Panasonic, and a high-speed internet will be launched on the 787 aircraft in 2018. The Dreamliners will gradually replace the carrier’s existing Boeing 747-400 and 767-300 aircraft between now and 2020.
