Why The Flagship Of The World’s Elite Airlines Is No Longer In Production

In 2004, the airline sector was revolutionized by the Boeing 777-300ER (extended range) variant of the 777 family. It was first flown commercially by Air France, and at the time, Boeing claimed it was “the most technologically advanced airplane in the industry”, surpassing previous 777-200 and 777-200ER variants, and raising the bar in terms of comfort and range. The 777-300ER featured updated systems, and at the time, it was equipped with the most powerful commercial jet engine available, the General Electric GE90-115B turbofan.
