Last of the Old Guard: Airline Places Final Order for Boeing 777-300ER
WHY IT MATTERS
The end of 777-300ER production marks a significant milestone in the aviation industry, as manufacturers shift focus to newer, more efficient models like the 777X.
What happened
As Boeing prepares to launch its 777X, the manufacturer has just five orders remaining for the passenger Boeing 777-300ER. This marks the end of an era for the 'Triple-Seven' family, with production of the second-generation 300ER set to cease.
The 777X is expected to enter service in 2027, signaling a transition to the latest generation of aircraft.
With the 777-300ER's production line soon to be closed, this order represents the final chapter in the story of this iconic plane.
