The Boeing 777-300ER can carry is 365 passengers in a Typical 3-class configuration, more, of course, in a 2 or single class configuration. Range, 7,930 nautical miles. http://www.boeing.com/commercial/777family/pf/pf_lrproduct.html Boeing can improve the 777, as they have been doing all along, and/...

United Airlines is the largest Boeing 777 operator followed by British Airlines.

Simply Not true. Any reputable company would fire such people as they put the company at risk. So let's see what that tells us about this situation. Now, unless you're going to try and tell us Airbus isn't a reputable company, it tells me that what you 'called them out on' simply isn't an 'outright...

Good Gawd! Boeing's "typical" 3 class configuration calls for 368 passengers.

IF you believe that such an outright lie is an acceptable business practice then please warn me when you graduate from college and start looking for a job. I wouldn't want to hire you or anyone like you. Thank you. Outright lies are considered mandatory in most sales departments. Simply Not true. A...

Why in this age of computer aided design and computer controlled machinery, does it take longer to build an airplane than it did, not that many years ago, when they used slide rules, pencils, and paper?

"puerile"?!
Calling someone or some company on an outright lie is hardly being childish. If that is considered acceptable business behavior it is a good thing I'm getting close to retirement.

Must be a Airbus press release as that statement is an outright lie. Depends on how you see it. Airbus counts the three 'generations' of 737s separately. And, quite honestly, who can blame them? The only thing the original 737-1/200 and the 737NG have in common are the name and the general shape of...

I flew Amsterdam to Paris CDG in March on an Air France Boeing 737, and I'm surprised that plane was still considered suitable for transporting paying customers. Absolutely dreadful! I've never known such cramped conditions inside an airplane. I wasn't surprised when I read Air France decided to ta...

Thanks for the warning. Sounds like they must be as bad as JAL, which I'll never fly again. One leg of that journey was on a old JAL DC-10 and it was pleasure as compared to the way they have configured their B-747-400s. I prefer the B747-400 to any other commercial aircraft, but not JALs -400s. The...

As pointed out it that very same article, Singapore Air has a standing order for 20 Boeing 787s.

Boeing certified the 747 with up to 550 people (I think only JAL ever used that capacity on that short dense domestic route they flew). The 747SR had 525 seats and the 747-400D has 568 seats. In October 2002, I had the worst travel experience of my life when I spent 7 plus hours on a JAL 747-400D f...

Really?! I would expect that from Airbus, but very disappointed to hear Boeing is doing the same thing.

.....the issue I see with this purchase is the A321/A320. Both have serious issues getting to/from PHL to SFO. Neither is a 757 replacement and that still will be a huge problem for us. Stopping in MCI for fuel isn't going to win us customers. Maybe the Boeing 737-900ER would have been a better sol...

Hello I've never seen pictures of the complete fuselage frame etc.... neither the complete frame, or large parts of it yet unfinished. There is no "frame" per se. However there have been pictures of all the barrels arriving in Everett. It has been 3 weeks since they started final assembly...

Thanks!

Found it. Right under our noses!

The old flightglobal website appears to have been gobbled up by a predator (not the UAV). Has anyone found out how to access the Flight daily news bulletin?
