Israeli leader's El Al 777 damaged during pushback

15 FEBRUARY, 2019 SOURCE: FLIGHT DASHBOARD BY: DAVID KAMINSKI-MORROW - LONDON


One of El Al’s Boeing 777-200ERs, being used to transport Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been damaged in a ramp accident at Warsaw.

The aircraft – a 17-year old Rolls-Royce Trent 800-powered twinjet, registered 4X-ECC – was being pushed from its parking stand at 01:15 on 15 February, says Warsaw airport’s operator.

It states that Netanyahu was on board at the time. He had arrived in Warsaw on 13 February for a Middle East summit.

Warsaw airport’s operator states that the accident damaged the aircraft’s nose-gear and fuselage skin. It has not detailed the reasons for the damage.

Just being pedantic, you mean they sent a 737, not another 737, as the first aircraft was a 777...

I'm sure they must have removed a few before and brought a double bed on board...
