The 2025 annual report's self-operated fleet table, as of 2025-12-31, lists 16 in-service passenger 737-800s averaging 169 seats, eight 737-900s averaging 175, four 787-8s averaging 238, and thirteen 787-9s averaging 271.
Known only from the live search index: EL AL's Link11 bot protection returned HTTP 492 for the raw PDF and no raw Wayback capture was available, so this source has no local snapshot. It establishes current type operation and average capacities, not row positions or every 737-800 subconfiguration.

Official Boeing 737-800 diagram EP-3805-3529-C publishes 166 seats and the complete row/seat grid, including Business, Economy, EL AL Space, overwing exits and limited-recline rows.
The drawing publishes no per-class subtotal text; cabin and EL AL Space subtotals are counted from its labeled seat symbols. Exact window alignment is not encoded.

The current fleet table lists 737-800 splits of 16J/150Y=166 and 189Y for Sun d'Or, 737-900ER 16J/159Y=175, 787-8 20J/35W/183Y=238, and 787-9 entries of 32J/35W/204Y=271 plus an ex-Air China 30J/263Y=293 aircraft.
Used only to corroborate cabin splits and enumerate possible configuration conflicts. The table's in-service heading is tagged citation-needed. EL AL's newer primary 2025 report says all thirteen 787-9s average 271 seats, which conflicts with the neutral table's still-listed 293-seat aircraft; no 293-seat file is emitted without a current airline map.

EL AL describes EL AL Space as a paid or status-included Economy zone with more personal and leg space on its 737, 787 and 777 aircraft, publishing 33–34 in (84–86 cm) legroom.
Claim translated from Russian. The live page was available only through the search index; direct raw fetches returned HTTP 492 and the available Wayback response was an anti-bot script rather than the page content, so this source has no snapshot.

CURRENT CONFIG CALL: EL AL publishes this complete 166-seat 737-800 diagram, and the current neutral table resolves it as 16 Business / 150 Economy. Eighteen Economy positions in rows 21, 22 and 35 are EL AL Space; 132 are standard Economy. The 2025 report lists sixteen passenger 737-800s averaging 169 seats; that rounded average is consistent with a mixed 166/189 fleet, while the current neutral table separately lists two 189-seat aircraft operated for Sun d'Or. No current airline-published 189-seat row diagram was located, so that configuration is BLOCKED rather than reconstructed. The exact 737-800 engineering grid is bound; classifier results are applied only if its --apply mode writes high-confidence structural blanks.
