Boeing and Emirates Airline celebrated the simultaneous delivery of three Boeing 777 today including two 777-300ER and one 777 Freighter. This marks the entry of the 150th 777 into Emirates’ fleet as well as the first time in 15 years Boeing has delivered three 777s at one time to a single customer.
Emirates is the largest operator of the Boeing 777 and also the only airline ever to operate all six of the 777 variants. It ordered its first Boeing 777s in 1992 with delivery beginning in June 1996. Its order book for the 777 continued to grow over the following years including a then record-breaking order for 50 777-300ER at the 2011 Dubai Airshow and 150 777Xs at the 3013 edition.
