Emirates has taken delivery of its 100th Boeing 777-300ER (Extended Range). With this delivery, Emirates will have 142 Boeing 777s in operation and is the only airline in the world to operate all the B777 variants.

“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. Our customers are equally excited by the aircraft and its on-board product, and to date over 108 million passengers have flown on an Emirates Boeing 777-300ER,” said Sir Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline. “We have 204 more Boeing 777s on order, which supports over 400,000 jobs in the United States of America, including those from various suppliers such as General Electric which provides the GE90 engines that power all of our 777-300ERs.” Each Boeing 777-300ER contains approximately three million components and assemblies, with more than 65% purchased through Boeing’s global supply chain. More than 500 companies around the world contribute parts for the 777, with a significant percentage in the United States.
