Status

In service

The Boeing 777-300ER (Extended Range) is a stretched, long-range variant of the Boeing 777 family, combining the fuselage length of the 777-300 with the enhanced range capabilities of the 777-200LR. It entered service in 2004 and quickly became one of the most commercially successful wide-body airliners ever built, favored for its fuel efficiency relative to four-engine alternatives. Powered exclusively by General Electric GE90-115B engines—the most powerful commercial jet engines ever certified—the 777-300ER is capable of carrying over 300 passengers in a typical three-class configuration across distances exceeding 13,000 km. Its raked wingtips, strengthened structure, and additional fuel capacity distinguish it from the baseline 777-300. The aircraft became a dominant choice for high-demand international routes, replacing older four-engine widebodies such as the Boeing 747 and Airbus A340. It remains in widespread service globally, though production has been winding down as Boeing transitions customers toward the newer 777X family.

Encyclopaedia

The Boeing 777, commonly referred to as the Triple Seven, is an American long-range wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 777 is the world's largest twinjet and the most-built wide-body airliner. The jetliner was designed to bridge the gap between Boeing's other wide body airplanes, the twin-engined 767 and quad-engined 747, and to replace aging DC-10 and L-1011 trijets. Developed in consultation with eight major airlines, the 777 program was launched in October 1990, with an order from United Airlines. The prototype aircraft rolled out in April 1994, and first flew that June. The 777 entered service with the launch operator United Airlines in June 1995. Longer-range variants were launched in 2000, and first delivered in 2004. Over 2,300 Boeing 777 aircraft have been ordered, with over 70 operators worldwide.
