100th Boeing 777-300ER for Emirates

Emirates Airline has taken delivery of its 100th Boeing 777-300ER (Extended Range). Emirates has now 142 777s in operation and is the only airline in the world to operate all 777 variants.

The Dubai-based airline ordered its first 777 twenty years ago. Today, the 777 comprises the largest part of Emirates' 213-strong fleet. It still has 51 777-300ERs on order. At the 2013 Dubai Airshow, Emirates became one of the launch customers for the 777X by committing to 150 airplanes. The order was finalized in July of this year. In total Emirates has 204 more 777s on order now.

Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline, speaks very enthusiastically about the airplane: "The Boeing 777-300ER is one of the most remarkable aircraft ever built, and its combination of efficiency, range and payload is second to none. To date over 108 million passengers have flown on an Emirates Boeing 777-300ER."
