Has Boeing produced its last 777-300ER?
Boeing may have delivered its last 777-300ER, according to its yearly order and delivery tally that shows just a single airframe of the type was dispatched last year.
The Air Current, first to report the assumed milestone for the popular Boeing programme, called it a “quiet end to the best-selling widebody of all time”.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope said in a social media post in mid-December that the company was resuming production across its 737, 767, and 777 programmes, following a hiatus triggered by the machinists’ strike.
However the latter aircraft programme is now consumed by the long-delayed 777X.
The Boeing 777-300ER (Extended Range) is a long-haul, twin-engine widebody jet that has become a cornerstone of global aviation since its introduction in 2004.
Designed for efficiency and performance, it features a range of up to 7,370 nautical miles, making it ideal for intercontinental routes.
Powered by General Electric GE90 engines, the 777-300ER has offered exceptional reliability and lower fuel consumption compared to older aircraft.
It can carry up to 392 passengers in a typical two-class configuration, balancing capacity with comfort. Popular among airlines for its versatility and profitability, the 777-300ER remains a symbol of Boeing’s engineering innovation and operational excellence.
