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 787-8 diagram EP-8205-3540-C publishes 238 seats and shows the Business, Premium Economy, Economy and EL AL Space row grid.
Conflicting primary evidence: the explicit 238-seat title controls, while the visible seat symbols count to 241 because the aft centre block draws D/F/G at both rows 45 and 46. The modeled omission of row 46 D/F/G follows AUTHORING §5b. 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. The page does not assign exact pitch to an individual variant or row.

EL AL's current New York–Tel Aviv product page identifies the Dreamliner Business Class seat as full-flat.
Known only from the live search index because direct raw fetches returned HTTP 492. The page supports the seat category, while the aircraft-specific diagrams support the 1-2-1 geometry and seat positions.

CURRENT CONFIG CALL: EL AL's 2025 report lists four in-service 787-8s averaging 238 seats, matching the explicit 238-seat title on its published diagram. PRIMARY-SOURCE CONFLICT: the diagram's visible icons count to 241 (20 Business + 35 Premium Economy + 186 Economy) because the aft centre block draws both rows 45 and 46. AUTHORING §5b requires the explicit numeric total to win. This model retains published row 45 D/F/G and omits the aft-most drawn row 46 D/F/G, producing the neutral table's 20J/35W/183Y=238 split. The exact operational status of that extra drawn trio is unpublished. The diagram identifies 72 Economy positions as EL AL Space; 111 are standard Economy. No exact 787-8 engineering window grid exists, so window positions remain unknown.
