Israel's El Al in talks to buy Airbus jets in potentially historic shift
TEL AVIV, Aug 10 (Reuters) - El Al Israel Airlines (ELAL.TA) is in "serious" talks with planemaker Airbus (AIR.PA) to buy as many as 30 A321neo jets, El Al's CEO said on Thursday, in what would be an historic change of supplier as it looks to replace its short-haul fleet.
Israel's flag carrier is also in talks with traditional supplier Boeing (BA.N) to buy 737 MAX aircraft, Dina Ben Tal Ganancia told Reuters on the sidelines of a conference after El Al issued quarterly results and as it celebrated 20 years of being traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange after privatisation.
