The Boeing 777-200 was the first variant of the highly successful 777 family, a pioneering twin-engine wide-body jet introduced in the mid-1990s. British Airways is one of the early and largest operators.

Fleet Rarity

Not rare; over 400 777-200s built, British Airways operates a large number.

Record Flights

Used on several ultra-long-haul routes; initial launch routes included London–Dubai and London–Newark.

Safety & Events

BA 777s have been involved in several notable events, such as British Airways Flight 38 in 2008 (non-fatal crash at Heathrow).

Gradual retirement in favor of newer 787s and A350s, but still active in early 2020s.
