British Airways in last week’s schedule update begin to display aircraft code 77W, representing the airline’s new 4-class 777-300ER aircraft (configuration F8J76W40Y130). Normally the airline lists Boeing 777-200ER/-300ER aircraft under aircraft code “777”. Last summer British Airways converted two Boeing 777 aircraft into ‘preighters’, a term for makeshift freighters coined by Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr. The aircraft were initially deployed exclusively to Shanghai to carry light items such as masks and gowns needed to fight against COVID-19. However, the aircraft’s demand fell significantly in January. British Airways has.

The Boeing 777-200 is a long range, twin aisle, twin-engine jet manufactured by Boeing, the American aerospace company. We operate these aircraft on longhaul routes to North and South America, the Caribbean, Africa, Australasia, the Far East, Middle East and Gulf destinations.

Often referred to as the 'Triple Seven', it was the world’s first commercial aircraft entirely designed by computer. Its visible features include super large engines, low hanging landing gear and a blade shaped tail cone with a relatively narrow tailfin.

British Airways took part in the design of the aircraft with Boeing, and is today one of the world’s largest operators of the type. The Boeing 777 has emerged as a best seller for longhaul commercial aircraft thanks to its excellent fuel efficiency and cabin comfort.

Passenger benefits include:

• Super quiet, super wide cabins with high ceilings
• Personal audio and video systems for all seats
• Choice of First, Club World, World Traveller Plus and World Traveller. (First available on some aircraft)
