The Boeing 777-300 is a long range, twin aisle, twin-engine jet manufactured by Boeing, the American aerospace company. We operate these on routes to Asia and North America.
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 operator 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. Compared to the 777-200, the Boeing 777-300 features a longer body, raked and extended wingtips, a new main landing gear, reinforced nose gear, and extra fuel tanks.
Customer benefits include:
- Super quiet, super wide cabins with high ceilings
- Audio and video on demand to all seats
- Choice of First, Club World, World Traveller Plus and World Traveller

Boeing 777 Aircraft for Sale. We have Boeing 777 aircraft for sale here. Boeing Commercial Airplanes introduced the wide bodied Boeing 777 in 1995. Eight major airlines consulted with Boeing to create the 777 and it was designed to bridge the gap between Boeing's 747 and 767 models. The 777 would also replace the older L-1011 and DC-10 models.

The aircraft operates on a variety of routes, including:
The Boeing 777 Freighter (777F), which entered service earlier this year, brings efficiency to long-haul operators while offering the advanced features of the 777 family. Designed to fill the need expressed by cargo operators around the world, the 777F is an efficient, long-range, high-capacity freighter.
By Jason S. Clark, 777 Freighter Deputy Program Manager; and
Kenneth D. Kirwan, 777 Freighter Deputy Chief Project Engineer
By providing more capacity than any other twin-engine freighter, the 777F brings new levels of efficiency to the long-haul market.
The range capability of the 777F provides significant savings for cargo operators. It enables them to take advantage of fewer stops and associated landing fees, less congestion at transfer hubs, lower cargo handling costs, and shorter cargo delivery times. The new freighter also integrates smoothly with existing cargo operations and facilitates interlining with 747 freighter fleets.
This article provides an overview of the 777F, including its heritage, freighter capabilities, range and capacity, twin-engine design, and ability to fit into existing cargo operations.
777 HERITAGE
Launched in May 2005, the 777F inherits the same basic design and flight characteristics of 777 passenger airplanes but is designed specifically to transport cargo. It also shares many of the 777 family’s advanced features, such as a fly-by-wire design, an advanced wing design with raked wing tips, and a state-of-the-art flight deck (see fig. 1). It is powered by the world’s most powerful commercial jet engine, the General Electric GE90-110B1.

6 Integrated communications interface with full future air navigation system functionality 7 Electronic Flight Bag (optional)
UNIQUE FREIGHTER CAPABILITIES
The 777F has been specifically designed as a freighter, with additional strengthening in key structural areas, including:
- New monolithic aluminum floor beams.
- Rigid cargo barrier located in the forward section of the airplane.
- Strengthened fuselage, especially in the area of the main deck cargo door.
Other design enhancements include:
- Enhanced, lightweight cargo-handling system with built-in test equipment that continually monitors the operational health of the system.
- Modified environmental control system.
- An advanced maneuver load alleviation system that redistributes the aerodynamic load on the wing during non-normal flight conditions, reducing the load on its outboard portion (see fig. 2). This allows the 777F to operate in a wide variety of flight environments without compromising payload capability.
Airbus 777 Price
The 777F also features a new supernumerary area, which includes business-class seats forward of the rigid cargo barrier, full main deck access, bunks, and a galley (see fig. 3).
The airplane’s design reflects information and feedback that Boeing gained at freighter working group meetings held with 20 airlines and cargo operators. Boeing’s plan was to ensure that the 777F would operate with procedures and handling similar to other 777 variants. The result is a common type rating with 777 passenger airplanes and only minimal transition required and lower training costs.

RANGE AND CAPACITY
With a maximum takeoff weight of 766,000 pounds (347,450 kilograms), the 777F has a revenue payload capability of more than 226,000 pounds (102.8 metric tons). It can fly 4,880 nautical miles (9,038 kilometers) with a full payload at general cargo market densities (more than 10 pounds per cubic foot), making it the world’s longest-range twin-engine freighter (see fig. 4).
The airplane has been engineered to have essentially the same landing characteristics as the 777-200LR (Longer Range), despite a maximum landing weight that is nearly 17 percent heavier (575,000 pounds; 260,810 kilograms).
The 777F accommodates 27 standard pallets (96 by 125 inches; 2.5 by 3.1 meters) on the main deck. The industry-standard 10-foot-high (3-meter-high) pallets are accommodated by the large main deck cargo door. The lower cargo hold has the capacity for 10 pallets, as well as 600 cubic feet (17.0 cubic meters) of additional bulk cargo (see fig. 5).

The 777F can fly 4,880 nautical miles (9,038 kilometers) with a full payload at general cargo market densities, opening up new nonstop markets to cargo operators.

The ability to accommodate 27 standard pallets on the main deck, combined with a versatile lower hold, gives the 777F a capacity never before available on a twin-engine freighter.
THE UNIQUE ECONOMICS OF THE 777F
The 777 family has an established history of twin-engine efficiency, with lower fuel consumption, maintenance costs, and operating costs.
The 777F extends these advantages to cargo operators, giving them the lowest trip cost of any large freighter, as well as excellent ton-mile economics. The freighter is expected to offer a 17 to 28 percent fuel-per-ton advantage to other freighters. The 777F has range, payload, and operating economics superior to any existing airplane freighter.
Its fuel economy also provides environmental benefits because lower fuel consumption means lower carbon emissions. The 777F also meets London-Heathrow noise standards (QC2) for maximum accessibility to noise‑sensitive airports.
Boeing 777
The high commonality of 777F airplane systems — such as flight controls, hydraulics, and landing gear — with 777 passenger airplane systems takes advantage of existing maintenance infrastructure (i.e., parts, ground support equipment, task cards, training) at the airline operator.
COMPLEMENTS EXISTING BOEING FREIGHTERS
The 777F has been designed to integrate smoothly with existing cargo operations and facilitate interlining with 747 freighter fleets. Cargo operators can easily transfer 10-foot-high pallets between the two models via the large main deck cargo door.
SUMMARY
Airbus 777 Seating Chart
The 777F is Boeing’s response to strong demand from cargo operators around the world for an efficient, long-range, and high-capacity freighter. By providing more capacity than any other twin-engine freighter, the 777F brings new levels of efficiency to long-haul markets. At the same time, its similarity to previous 777 models and ability to facilitate direct-transfer shipments with 747 freighter fleets make it easy to integrate into an operator’s fleet.
