Fourth 738 to join the 'UP' fleet...
 
Apparently this aircraft is currently in the Czech Republic being resprayed as with the UP livery.

Following articles hints London might be on the cards as another destination...

Why is it that UP a/c get full livery but several EL AL mainline 763's and 744's have not?

Probably no planes to spare?

LY's operation is already spread thin (besides weekend, but you cannot finish a full livery in a weekend).

Mkilmo, I disagree, EAJ has been in service for 10 years, and still wear the partial livery! In 10 years, they could have found time to paint this a/c!!!

I agree. They found the money to paint "UP" designated a/c in an elaborate scheme. Surely, there is enough money to give full livery to the handful of a/c in the mainline fleet that don't have it, as well as to spruce up the one dedicated 744 cargo a/c in the fleet.
