transmise le 18 août 2011 par Business Wire

El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. , the Israeli national carrier, reports 2^nd quarter of 2011 financial results. Elyezer Shkedy, Company CEO & President: “Competition has grown, around 25% growth in terms of seat capacity availability compared to two years ago, and the 13% for the last year. We are working hard to adapt the Company’s strategies to today’s commercial circumstances. Within this framework, we are implementing plans to reduce operating expenses that were influenced by the sharp and ongoing increases in fuel costs – about 47% compared to in the parallel quarter of last year, and the strengthening of the shekel against the dollar by an average of about 9%. One of the means of overcoming the situation is re-examining our route system. This month we announced that our route to Sao Paulo will be closed. It is our intention to utilize our efficient and thrifty 777s which will be freed up as a result, on other routes. We are also planning to remove aircraft that are considered fuel-inefficient from service, and to add winglets to the wing tips of other aircraft. These steps reflect our efforts to reduce costs and to maximize fuel efficiency.”
