Arkia Israeli Airlines (IZ, Tel Aviv Ben Gurion) is planning to add additional capacity to its current fleet fleet of five ATR72-500s, two B757-300 WIN.s and one E195 ahead of an EU-Israel Open Skies treaty that comes into effect next year. Israel's Globe newswire reports that the Israeli carrier intends to acquire four A321neos between 2016 and 2018. Whether this is a direct deal with Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) or with a 3rd party lessor is uncertain at this this point in time. In the immediate future, Arkia plans to acquire another 110-seater E195 aircraft for use on both domestic and international flights in January 2014 with a second jet to arrive in Summer 2014 for use on flights to the Greek islands and other European destinations.
