HISTORY ASPECTS:
The EL AL Israel Airlines Boeing 777-200ER, registration 4X-ECB, played a vital role in the long-haul fleet of Israel’s flag carrier for over two decades. Delivered in 2001, 4X-ECB became a cornerstone of EL AL’s global operations, connecting Tel Aviv with major international destinations including New York, London, Bangkok, and Johannesburg. The aircraft was part of EL AL’s modernization push during the early 2000s, offering increased range, greater fuel efficiency, and enhanced passenger comfort compared to the older 747-200s and 767s it helped replace.
Known for its distinctive blue and white livery bearing the Star of David, 4X-ECB was equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent 800 engines and configured to serve a wide variety of passenger needs. The aircraft featured upgraded business and economy class cabins, making it suitable for both business travelers and tourists alike. As a 777-200ER (Extended Range), it had the capability to operate ultra-long-haul flights with minimal interruption, even in the highly secure and strategically sensitive airspace in and around Israel. Its performance and reliability helped EL AL maintain its reputation for punctuality, safety, and resilience in a region often marked by geopolitical instability.
Throughout its service, 4X-ECB participated in several notable missions, including special charter flights, humanitarian missions, and repatriation efforts during times of global crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. As EL AL began updating its long-haul fleet with more fuel-efficient Boeing 787 Dreamliners, the 777-200ERs were gradually phased out. Nevertheless, 4X-ECB remains a beloved symbol of a transformative era in Israeli aviation—representing national pride, endurance, and global connectivity.
This 1:400 scale model is a beautifully detailed miniature that honors one of the airline’s most iconic widebody jets. With precise markings, realistic landing gear, and faithful proportions, this collectible is perfect for aviation enthusiasts and those with a special connection to Israeli civil aviation history.
