Boeing 777-200ER
1999/12/08 - ECA, ECB & ECC order

For financing three 777-200 aircraft (marked ECA, ECB and ECC), the Company signed a contract with Bank Hapoalim Ltd. on July 27, 2001 to receive loans totaling approximately $ 300 million over a 12-year period, bearing a variable interest rate of Libor plus a margin.

on October 2, 2005, the Company signed an agreement with the Boeing Company for the purchase of two broad hulled, long-range 777-200 ER aircraft, which are anticipated to be received for Company use during the year 2007. The cost of each aircraft will amount to approximately 130 million dollars, according to the volume of accessories and installations to be made to the aircraft in order to conform it to the Company's needs.

In March 2008, the Company signed an agreement with the aircraft manufacturer Boeing for the purchase of four wide-body model 777-200 long-range aircraft. This agreement was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on April 30 2008. These planes, which will be equipped with "Rolls Royce" engines, are expected to join the Company's passenger fleets for intermediate and long-range flights, and will have a configuration of 279 seats. Delivery of the planes is expected in January 2012, April 2012, November 2012 and January 2013. The total purchase cost of the four planes, including spare parts and installations necessary for them to conform to the Company's needs, is $576 million.

Pursuant to terms of this agreement, the Company was granted an option to convert the aforementioned acquisition into new 777-300 ER aircraft.

Furthermore, the agreement grants the Company another option to acquire two additional such aircraft, to be delivered to the Company in 2014 and 2015.

on April 29 2010 the parties signed a letter of agreement to cancel the agreement and set the terms according to which the Company shall be entitled to make use of a sum equal to the advance payments paid as part of the agreements, this as a result of new aircraft purchase transactions in the coming years.

At the end of July and in August 2007, the Company received a delivery of two new passenger Boeing 777 model aircraft, which it purchased from Boeing.

Billings Air Traffic Control queried with airport authority whether Billings could accept a Boeing 777 for an emergency landing, the airport authority affirmed. The crew requested a low pass to have a look at the engine and check whether there was any further damage, they had a continuous fire indication. In advising emergency services ATC suspected the current darkness may prevent the crew to assess the status from the cabin. Emergency services prepared for a low approach to runway 28R taking their positions on (crossing) runway 25 to check the right hand wing, engine and side of the aircraft. While intercepting the localizer for runway 28R the crew decided to go for a full stop landing right away and landed safely on runway 28R about 38 minutes after leaving FL360. The crew requested emergency services to check the right hand engine, emergency services reported they did not see any flames, smoke or other indications of fire (excessive temperature ...). The crew therefore decided to taxi the aircraft to the apron, where the passengers disembarked normally.

Acquisition Operated by El Al Israel Airlines
 * In July and August 2007, the Company received and operated two new 777-200 aircraft (fifth and sixth of this model) from Boeing.
 * In July 2007, a financing agreement was signed with a consortium of several foreign banks to finance the purchase of the planes.
 * For this purpose, a new foreign company, Yochevet Leasing LLC (hereafter: "the foreign company"), was established in the Cayman Islands. The ExIm Bank provided a bank guarantee to the lending banks. The lending banks, the foreign company, ExIm Bank and the Company appointed Wells Fargo as trustee of the collateral (hereafter: "trustee of the collateral").
 * The shares of the foreign company were pledged in favor of the trustee of the collateral, and the planes were pledged to the ExIm Bank. Additionally, the trustee of the collateral appoints the board of directors in the foreign company.
 * Both aircraft, which are leased by the foreign company from Boeing, are subleased to the Company for 12 years in exchange for leasing fees identical in amount to the repayment of the principal and interest amounts payable to the lending banks.
 * The Company has an option to acquire this plane at the end of the loan-repayment period for $1.00.
 * For financing most of the cost of two 777-200 aircraft (ECF and ECE) through a sublease, as in Note 9.e.2 above, a loan was received in July-August 2007 from a consortium of several foreign banks totaling $219 million, for a 12-year period, to be repaid quarterly, and including a balloon payment of principal at the end of the period. The loan bears variable Libor interest plus a margin.
