The Boeing 777-300ER’s first delivery took place in 2004 with Air France (AF) as its first customer. Besides the increased range of the new model of almost 2,000 nautical miles and a larger wingspan, both the -300 and the -300ER are similar. Further, the seating capacity for both models could be expanded depending on their configuration. Of course, Airbus did produce the Super Jumbo A380, but four-engined jets are no longer the future. For twins, Boeing will dominate in terms of capacity. The larger 777-9 offers a typical two-class capacity of 426 seats; this compares with 369 for the A350-1000. The 777-8 will be in a similar league as the A350-1000, with a capacity of around 390. Article: Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) signed an agreement to convert four B777-300ER passenger aircraft to cargo configuration for Emirates. The aircraft will be converted at the new site established in Etihad Engineering?s MRO center in Abu Dhabi, and the first conversion of the Emirates plane is expected to begin in early 2023. Boeing's 777-300 is powered by the world's most powerful turbofan engines. The stretched 777-300 is designed as a replacement for early generation 747s (747-100s and 200s). Compared to the older 747s the stretched 777 has comparable passenger capacity and range, but burns one third less fuel and features 40% lower maintenance costs. The 777X is Boeing’s newest family of twin-aisle airplanes that builds on the passenger-preferred and market-leading 777. Boeing Commercial Airplanes in November 2013 launched the airplane at the Dubai Airshow with 259 orders and commitments from four customers. Production of the 777X began in 2017 and first delivery is targeted for 2020. 07.06.2022 - 09:06 UTC. Emirates (EK, Dubai International) has signed a commitment to convert six of its own B777-300 (ER) s into freighters, increasing its total order for converted B777-300 (ER)s to ten units. The airline did not clarify whether the additional six units would also be converted by Israel Aerospace Industries under its B777-300 Boeing has stretched the 777-8 passenger variant’s fuselage length by 3.6 feet, aligning it with the freighter variant and therefore also boosting passenger capacity and range. The most recent specification data from Boeing showcases the alteration, which includes the stretching of the twin-jet by 1.1 meters (3 feet 6 inches). This The market-leading 777 family consists of six airplanes: five passenger models, with the ability to fly point-to-point nonstop to bypass crowded and busy hub airports, and a freighter model. The market-driven design of the 777 ensures the airplane responds to market needs and customer preferences. The result is a family of airplanes According to InsightIQ, as of 1st of August, 2020, Emirates has a fleet of 247 passenger aircraft that consist of 132 Boeing 777 family aircraft and 115 A380 family aircraft. The A380 represents 47% of the overall fleet size, at an average of 6.3 years and the older frames reaching 13 years of age. Some photos for this airline.
