A mostly white Boeing 777, with some red, green and black markings, of Emirates, in flight, facing left.
Emirates is the largest operator of the Boeing 777, having operated each 777 family variant;[1][2] the carrier has 48 –300ER models on order.[3][4]

The Boeing 777 is a long-range wide-body twin-engine jet airliner designed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, the commercial business unit of Boeing. Commonly referred to as "Triple Seven",[5] it is the largest twinjet and the world's longest-range airliner.[6] The 777 can accommodate between 301 and 365 passengers in a three-class layout,[7] and has a range of 5,235 to 9,380 nautical miles (9,695 to 17,372 km), depending on the model. Developed in consultation with eight major airlines,[8] the 777 was designed to replace older wide-body airliners and bridge the capacity difference between the 767 and 747.

The 777 is produced in two fuselage lengths. The original 777-200 model first entered service in 1995, followed by the extended-range 777-200ER in 1997;[9] the stretched 777-300, which is 33.3 ft (10.1 m) longer, began service in 1998. The longer-range 777-300ER and 777-200LR variants entered service in 2004 and 2006, respectively, while a freighter version, the 777F, debuted in 2009.[9]

United Airlines first placed the 777 into commercial airline service in 1995. The most successful variant is the 777-300ER with 432 aircraft delivered and over 700 orders to date.[4] Emirates operates the largest 777 fleet, with 87 aircraft.[4]FedEx Express operates the largest fleet of the 777F cargo aircraft. As of August 2013, 1,467 Boeing 777s, of all variants, have been ordered, and 1223 have been delivered.[4]

Model summary

United Airlines placed the launch order for the 777 program on October 14, 1990 when it purchased 34 Pratt & Whitney PW4084-powered 777-200s valued at US$11 billion with options on an additional 34.[10][11] Subsequent versions of the 777, including the 777-200ER, 777-200LR, 777-300, 777-300ER, and 777F, have been launched by Air France, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and Pakistan International Airlines (PIA). The following table lists milestone dates for each model of the aircraft.[12]

Active and future operators

The 777-200 entered into service with United Airlines on June 7, 1995 with its first flight from London Heathrow Airport to Dulles International Airport.[13] From day one, the 777 was awarded 180-minute ETOPS clearance by the Federal Aviation Administration, making it the first airliner to carry an ETOPS-180 clearance into service.[14] This would later be increased to 207 minutes by October 1996.note 1 British Airways placed the first model with General Electric GE90-77B engines into service on November 17, 1995.[15] The first Rolls-Royce Trent 877-powered aircraft was delivered to Thai Airways International on March 31, 1996, completing the introduction of the three power-plants initially developed for the airliner.[16]

In July 2009, Emirates surpassed Singapore Airlines as the biggest 777 operator, when the 78th aircraft was delivered.[17] Since 2010, Emirates is the largest Boeing 777 operator, with 146 aircraft;[18][18] the carrier began phasing out older −200s, −200ERs and −300s in February 2011,[19] but as of May 2011 has 47 additional −300ER orders scheduled for delivery.[4] Other primary operators are United Airlines (74),[18] Cathay Pacific (70), Air France (70)[18] and Singapore Airlines (54),[18] the launch customer. As of November 2011, 62 airline customers operate variants of the Boeing 777. The following table lists of active operators of the aircraft as of November 2011.[20]

Orders and deliveries

The title of largest 777 operator has changed hands during the aircraft's history. Singapore Airlines' order for up to 77 aircraft on November 15, 1995 constituted the largest-ever wide-body aircraft purchase at the time.[31] The purchase comprised 34 firm orders and 43 options for the 777-200ER, all to be powered Trent 800 series engines, and was valued at US$12.7 billion.[31] The number of 777 customers had grown to 25 airlines by June 1997, with 323 aircraft on order.[32] On August 26, 2004, Singapore Airlines followed up with a US$4 billion order for the 777-300ER, including 18 firm orders and 13 options.[33] The combined orders would make the carrier's 777 fleet number 77 when deliveries were complete.[33]

On November 20, 2005, Emirates placed the largest firm order for the 777.[2] Totaling 42 aircraft, including 24 −300ERs, ten −200LRs and eight 777Fs, the purchase was reportedly worth US$9.7 billion.[2] The Middle Eastern carrier followed up with another order for 30 −300ERs at the 2010 Farnborough Airshow.[34]

On September 19, 2013, Lufthansa confirmed a firm order of 20 777-9Xs prior to an official launch of the aircraft.[35] Boeing launched the 777X at the 2013 Dubai Air Show.[36] In March 2014 ANA of Japan ordered 20 777-9X models.
