BOEING 777 TWIN-AISLE TWINJET AIRLINER, USA
The Boeing Commercial Airplanes Group introduced the Boeing 777 family of
aircraft in 1989. The aircraft fills the size gap between the Boeing 767 and Boeing
747. Over 665 of the Boeing 777 family have been ordered (by more than 37 custom-
ers) and over 500 delivered since the aircraft entered service in May 1995. The air-
craft is built at the Boeing plant in Everett, Washington.
VARIANTS
The 777-200 was the first of the family of aircraft in production and entered
service in May 1995. It has a range of up to 10,900km and seats a maximum of 440
passengers or between 305 and 328 in a typical three-class configuration.
The 777-200ER (Extended Range) flies the same number of passengers as the
777-200 but to a range of 14,260km. The aircraft has a higher fuel capacity and
strengthened wing, fuselage, engine pylons, landing gear and empennage (tail unit).
The aircraft first flew in October 1996 and first entered service in February 1997 with
British Airways. Recent orders include ten 777-200ER for KLM, the first of which

December 2003.
The Boeing 777-300 is a stretched version of the 777, seating 328 to 394 pas-
sengers in a typical three class seating arrangement or 550 passengers in a single
economy class arrangement. The 777-300 is the latest derivative of the 777 family
and the first aircraft was delivered to Cathay Pacific in May 1998.
The 777-300ER (Extended Range) was launched in February 2000 and first
flight took place in February 2003. The 300ER set a maximum take-off weight
(MTOW) record for a twin-engine aircraft in May 2003. The aircraft received US and
