Last week's 'weekend reading' blog post included an article from FlightGlobal regarding the '777 classic' entering the twilight of it's career. The 777 classic includes the 777-200, 777-200ER and 777-300. This feature will provide a fleet update for this group of aircraft.
Boeing 777-222 MSN 26916 L/N 7 United Airlines N777UA Delivered 5/15/95
The 777-200 was the first model delivered, with United Airlines taking delivery of appropriately registered N777UA May 15th 1995. That aircraft remains in service today. A total of 88 777-200s were delivered, with the final delivery to Japan Airlines May 17th 2007.
Boeing 777-281 MSN 27653 L/N 635 Japan Airlines JA773J Delivered 5/17/07
Of these 88 deliveries, 64 (73%) remain in service (56 with their original delivery operators), 5 are stored, while 19 have been permanently retired. The retirements include 5 originally delivered to ANA, 1 to British Airways, 1 to Air China, 2 to China Southern, 3 to Japan Airlines, 2 to Thai International, 2 to United Airlines and 3 to Emirates. 3 retirements had GE engines, 11 P&W and 5 RR.
The 777-200ER followed, offering significantly increased range than the baseline -200. The first delivery was to British Airways June 2nd 1997, while the final delivery was to Asiana Airlines July 26th 2013. The -200ER was by far the most popular of the three classic models, with 422 delivered (Pratt & Whitney 93 22%, General Electric 161 38% and Rolls-Royce 168 40%).
Boeing 777-236ER MSN 27485 L/N 53 British Airways G-VIIC Delivered 2/6/97 (GE)
371 777-200ERs remain in service (88%), with 310 of those with their original delivery operators. 38 are stored, 8 permanently retired, and 5 written off. The majority of the stored aircraft - 24 - have Rolls-Royce engines, while General Electric and Pratt & Whitney powered aircraft both total 7.
Boeing 777-28EER MSN 40199 L/N 1117 Asiana Airlines HL8284 Delivered 7/26/13 (P&W)
The final model, the 777-300 was a higher capacity aircraft built for regional operations on dense city pairs within Asia. 60 were delivered, with 50 remaining in service (83%). 4 aircraft are stored, 5 permanently retired, and 1 written off. Apart from Emirates with 12 deliveries, the remainder were all delivered to Asian airlines: ANA 7, Cathay Pacific 12, Japan Airlines 7, Korean Air 4, Singapore Airlines 12 and Thai International 6. Not all -300s were directly retired, Russia's VIM Avia acquired 1 used aircraft (ex-Emirates), while Rossiya has 5 ex-Singapore and Transaero aircraft. In general though, there is not regarded to be much of a secondary market for the 777-300.
Boeing 777-367 MSN 27504 L/N 136 Cathay Pacific B-HNH Delivered 5/22/98 (RR) [Had to be shown landing at Kai Tak for nostalgic reasons!]
First delivery was to Cathay Pacific May 22nd 1998, while Cathay also received the final delivery July 27th 2006.
