First twinjet designed for long-haul international flights; backbone of many intercontinental fleets since mid-1990s.

Fleet Rarity

British Airways operates one of the largest 777-200 fleets worldwide; model still common but being replaced by newer types.

Used on multiple long-haul/ultra-long-haul city pairs globally; not the longest-range variant but still serves major trunk routes.

Safety & Events

777 series has an excellent safety record with some high-profile incidents (e.g., BA38 crash-landing at Heathrow in 2008).

Many 777-200s still active, but gradually being replaced by 787 and A350 families; some retired/converted to freighter.
