About This Aircraft

The Boeing 777-300ER is the definitive long-haul twin-engine aircraft. Powered by the GE90-115B — the world's most powerful commercial jet engine, with a fan diameter larger than the fuselage of a 737 — it can fly from London to Singapore, Sydney to Dallas, or Dubai to Los Angeles without stopping.

Emirates operates the world's largest 777-300ER fleet, with over 130 aircraft connecting Dubai to virtually every major city on earth. The aircraft's twin-engine efficiency over the classic four-engine widebody made it the replacement for the Boeing 747 on most high-volume long-haul routes. Over 800 have been delivered, and it remains in production alongside its successor the 777X.

How to Spot It

The 777 has the largest engines of any twin-engine commercial aircraft — the GE90 fan is 3.25 metres in diameter, larger than a 737 fuselage. You'll notice the engines immediately: they're enormous relative to the wing. The aircraft is long and thin with a characteristic six-wheel main landing gear bogie on each side.

The 777-300ER has distinctive raked wingtips — the tip of the wing bends sharply upward at a steep angle. The fuselage is perfectly circular in cross section, and the nose has a rounded, smooth profile. On approach, watch for the massive engine pods hanging well below the wing line.
