<p>The new plane could either be exclusively designated for VIP transport; or a commercial plane which can be made available for state use at a moment's notice; or a long-term lease with an airline that will configure one of its aircraft for state use within 72 hours, Xinhua reported citing local daily Yediot Aharonoth. <br /><br />Experts quoted in the report estimate the Israeli prime minister's Office will choose to sign a contract for a Boeing 767 that will continue to fly regular commercial flights and be converted for state use on short notice. <br /><br />It will also have to offer high availability over the next 15 years and be able to fly at least 10,000 km without having to land for refuelling. <br /><br />The Israeli Air Force One will have rooms built into modular platforms, connectable in segments for easy reconfiguration and sporting amenities. <br />Additional features will include a business suite for senior officials, a multi-media conference room, encrypted satellite communication gear, space for aides and body guards and countermeasures against shoulder-fired missiles.</p>
