El Al has signed an agreement for the purchase of four new Boeing 777-200 extended range aircraft.
The Israeli national airline has invested around $540 million in the new aircraft.
Three are scheduled to be delivered in 2012 and the fourth in early 2013.
The four aircraft will be equipped with Rolls Royce engines and configured with 279 seats.
El Al also has the option to purchase four new 777-300 model aircraft, instead of the four new 777-200 model.
