El Al Israel Airlines (LY, Tel Aviv Ben Gurion) has ended B737-700 operations for the meantime following the withdrawal of its last remaining airframe of the type from regular service.
According to Skyliner Aviation, 4X-EKE (msn 29961) was ferried from Tel Aviv Ben Gurion to Tucson International via London Luton and New York JFK last week. The twinjet is destined for Capstar Aviation, a Texas-based commercial aircraft and engine trading and leasing business.
