The Boeing 777 has truly cemented its place as a cornerstone of long-haul aviation since it first took to the skies in the mid-1990s. This widebody jet has become a favorite among airlines worldwide, playing a crucial role in connecting continents and facilitating international travel. Even after nearly 30 years, the 777 is still a powerhouse on some of the busiest intercontinental routes. In the US and Europe, major airlines rely heavily on this aircraft for their transatlantic services, with hundreds of flights scheduled each month. According to ch-aviation, over 1,300 Boeing 777s are currently active globally, including the popular 777-300ER and various other models like the 777-200ER and 777 freighters.
This month, British Airways is leading the pack with the most Boeing 777 flights on the New York JFK to London Heathrow route. With 226 one-way flights scheduled, BA is offering over 55,000 seats and nearly 190 million available seat miles. They typically operate seven to eight daily flights using both the 777-200ER and 777-300ER. Air France is also busy on the JFK to Paris Charles De Gaulle route, with around 171 flights planned this month. American Airlines is another major player, with multiple daily flights from US hubs like Dallas–Fort Worth, New York JFK, and Charlotte Douglas to London Heathrow.
United Airlines is not far behind, with plans to operate nearly 900 transatlantic 777 flights this month. Air France is also making waves with three daily 777 departures between Los Angeles and Paris, marking it as one of the busiest routes from the US West Coast. Turkish Airlines is keeping up the pace with 62 flights from New York JFK to Istanbul. It’s clear that the Boeing 777 remains a vital part of global aviation, connecting major cities and facilitating international travel like a pro. #Boeing777 #Aviation #TransatlanticFlights
