Boeing has ended production of the 777-300ER, closing the chapter on one of aviation’s most successful widebody jets. Since its launch in 2004, more than 830 aircraft were delivered, shaping long-haul travel with unmatched range, capacity, and efficiency.
Final Delivery Marks the End
The last passenger 777-300ER was delivered in December 2024. Ethiopian Airlines received an aircraft originally built for China Southern Airlines, marking the official end of new production. Boeing’s 2024 records list just one delivery, confirming the end of an era.
A Lasting Legacy
The 777-300ER carried nearly 400 passengers across more than 7,000 nautical miles, becoming the preferred long-haul aircraft for airlines like Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and Air France. Many carriers plan to keep it in service for years despite production stopping.
Continued Demand in Secondary Markets
Airlines and lessors still see value in the model. Air India is upgrading cabins through retrofit programs, while AerFin has acquired aircraft from Japan Airlines, showing that demand for the 777-300ER remains strong in the secondary market.
Transition to the 777X
Boeing now shifts focus to the 777X, which offers greater efficiency, GE9X engines, and redesigned interiors. Yet, with delays in the program, the 777-300ER will continue to play a vital role in long-haul operations well into the next decade.
