OCT 23, 2003 (newstodate): Palestinian Airlines is in talks with Boeing and Airbus concerning plans for a fleet upgrade.
The airline hopes to be able to add two new aircraft to be operated on a route network including flights to the Gulf states, and to Morocco.
Palestinian Airlines currently owns two Fokker F50 aircraft, donated by the Netherlands, and plans to add a Boeing 727 aircraft, donated by Prince Walid Bin Talal.
The two Fokker F50 aircraft are currently out of service during maintenance work in the Netherlands, while the Boeing 727 remains docked in Amman pending maintenance work estimated to cost around USD four million.
Palestinian Airlines was established in 1993, but its development has been hampered by the political events in the region.
Its operational base is Gaza Airport which, however, requires repairs and reconstruction work at a cost of some USD 12 million over a period of at least half a year.
Palestinian Airlines thus operates a route between Egyptian airport, Al-Arich and Jordan's Queen Alia International Airport.
