After two decades in service, Boeing has ended production of the 777-300ER, marking a significant moment in commercial aviation. The aircraft, which first entered service in 2004 with Air France, became a standard for long-haul travel due to its performance, range, and passenger comfort.
The 777-300ER was capable of flying over 7,300 nautical miles and carrying nearly 350 passengers. Its introduction set new standards for efficiency and reliability among long-haul carriers worldwide. Airlines such as Emirates, Air France, and Cathay Pacific relied on the model for both regional and ultra-long-haul routes. The aircraft's fuel economy improved by about 20% compared to older four-engine jets like the Boeing 747-400.
The model featured technological advancements including the powerful GE90-115B engine—the most powerful commercial turbofan built—and systems such as fly-by-wire controls and electronic checklists. Pilots appreciated its cockpit layout and handling characteristics, while passengers benefited from a comfortable cabin with lower noise levels and higher humidity.
