The New Boeing 777x

Get to know the new Boeing 777X

The 777X is a twin-engine, twin-aisle success redefined. We like to think of it as the future of flight unfolding.

 

Building on the success of the 777 and 787 Dreamliner, the 777X is the largest and most efficient twin-engine jet in the world. Its folding raked wingtip and optimized span deliver greater efficiency, significant fuel savings and complete airport gate compatibility. And its GE9X engine is the most advanced, fuel-efficient commercial engine ever.

Performance, however, is just part of the story. The interior of the 777X is inspired by the comforts and conveniences of the 787 Dreamliner and will include larger windows, a wider cabin, new lighting and enhanced architecture — all of which will be custom tailored for a unique 777X experience.

Second Incident Boeing 777 suffers mid-air emergency

Hydraulic leak forces San Francisco-bound plane operated by Japan Airlines to return to Tokyo three days after Asiana crash.

A San Francisco-bound Boeing 777 operated by Japan Airlines turned back to Tokyo on Monday after its crew detected a leak in the hydraulic system that controls its flaps, the carrier said.

The incident came three days after an Asiana Airlines 777 crashed in San Francisco after approaching at dangerously low speed, killing two people. The JAL jetliner, carrying 236 passengers, returned to Tokyo's Haneda airport after departing three hours and 20 minutes earlier.

Maintenance engineers were investigating the cause of the leak, a spokesman for the Japanese flag carrier said. Two teenage Chinese girls on their way to summer camp in the US were killed and more than 180 people injured in the San Francisco crash, the first fatal accident involving a Boeing 777 since they entered service in 1995. Hours afterwards, the Asiana Airlines president and chief executive, Yoon Young-doo, said the plane did not appear to be at fault.
