Arkia Israeli Airlines (IZ, Tel Aviv Ben Gurion) has signed a dry-lease agreement with AerCap to add two A321-200s, its first units of the type. Deliveries are expected in 2027. The aircraft will join the Israeli carrier's in-house fleet comprising three A320-200s, two A321-200NX(LR)s, and two E195s. Arkia has been heavily relying on wet leases to boots its peak capacity, and currently, among other aircraft, already sources an A321-200 from Electra Airways.
