777 Family
777 Family at a glance
The Boeing 777 is the best-selling widebody family in history: more than 1,700 delivered since 1995, the aircraft that killed the four-engine era by proving a giant twin could fly any route a 747 could, for far less fuel. Designed with airlines at the table and certified for extended over-water flying from day one, it became the backbone of long-haul aviation for two decades.
The definitive version is the 777-300ER, the 396-seat GE90-powered workhorse that carried the golden age of Gulf and Asian long-haul flying, with Emirates alone operating a fleet larger than most airlines' entire operations. The family also spans the ultra-long-range 777-200LR and the 777F, the world's most successful large freighter, while the next generation, the 777X, extends the line into the 2030s.
