Status

In service

The Boeing 777-200 is the original and baseline variant of the 777 family, a long-haul wide-body twin-engine jet airliner that entered commercial service in 1995. Designed to bridge the gap between the 767 and 747, it became the world's largest twin-engine commercial aircraft at its introduction and was a landmark in fly-by-wire and composite material usage for Boeing. The aircraft features a twin-aisle cabin capable of seating up to around 400 passengers in high-density configurations, though typical two-class layouts seat approximately 305–320 passengers. Its two high-bypass turbofan engines—available from GE, Pratt & Whitney, or Rolls-Royce—deliver exceptional fuel efficiency for its class. The 777-200 laid the groundwork for a successful family of variants including the extended-range 777-200ER, the ultra-long-range 777-200LR, and the stretched 777-300 series. While production of the base -200 has ended, hundreds remain in active service with major carriers worldwide.

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.
