The Boeing 777-300ER is a prominent aircraft in the fleets of various North American airlines, including American Airlines, United Airlines, and Air Canada. Each airline utilizes unique cabin configurations for their Boeing 777-300ER aircraft to meet different service requirements.

United Airlines is the largest North American operator of the Boeing 777-300ER, boasting a fleet of 22 aircraft. The airline's business class features two cabins with 60 open suites arranged in a 1-2-1 layout. Behind it lies the premium economy cabin with 24 seats arranged in a 2-4-2 configuration. The economy class, consisting of 266 seats, follows a 3-4-3 configuration. United Airlines uses these aircraft for diverse routes, including services from San Francisco International Airport to destinations like Hong Kong and Manila, as well as from Newark to Dubai and Frankfurt.

American Airlines operates 20 Boeing 777-300ERs, each configured to hold 304 passengers across three classes—first class, business class, and premium economy. The first class is arranged in a 1-2-1 setup, while business class follows the same configuration but with different seat dimensions. The premium economy uses a 2-4-2 format, and economy class is arranged in a 3-4-3 setup. The airline also offers a variant accommodating 330 passengers by expanding business, premium, and economy classes.

Air Canada, the third North American operator, owns 19 Boeing 777-300ERs. Passenger accommodations vary across two distinct configurations—either 400 or 450 passengers in a three-class setup. First, business and premium economy class capacities differ between configurations, reflecting Air Canada's diverse operational needs.

Globally, Emirates Airlines dominates as the largest operator of the Boeing 777-300ER, followed by other notable carriers such as Qatar Airways and Cathay Pacific.

Though Boeing ceased production of the 777-300ER in 2024, the continued use of this model among major carriers underscores its significance in long-haul flight operations. The anticipated launch of Boeing's 777X offers future advancements, though its delays suggest the 777-300ER will remain a common sight across global skies for the foreseeable future.
