Boeing celebrates nearly three decades with varied top international routes

The top ten routes operated by the Boeing 777 include a mix of European, North American, and Asian destinations. Notably, Emirates—despite having numerous services—only appears twice in this list. London Heathrow is featured four times among these routes.

Two East Asian markets stand out for their high-density traffic: Hong Kong to Taipei and Singapore to Jakarta. While both utilize the Boeing 777 significantly, they also employ various other aircraft types, resulting in a lower percentage of flights operated by the Triple Seven.

For instance, Hong Kong to Taipei sees over a thousand take-offs from seven carriers during February. The A321neo is currently favored for narrowbody flights on this route. Among widebodies, the A330-300 leads in popularity, followed by the non-ER version of the Boeing 777-300.

February's top international routes using the Boeing 777 include:

1. London Heathrow to New York JFK

2. Doha to London Heathrow

3. Taipei Taoyuan to San Francisco

4. Hong Kong to Taipei Taoyuan

5. Jeddah to Jakarta

Each route showcases varying degrees of reliance on different airlines operating either ER or LR versions of the aircraft.

Significant changes have been observed when comparing February 2025 with February 2024 data for these routes. Half of last year's top ten did not make it onto this year's list due partly to shifts like Asiana replacing its Seoul Incheon-Bangkok Suvarnabhumi service with an Airbus A380 instead of a Boeing 777-200ER.
