Emirates celebrates the delivery of their 150th 777

Emirates and Boeing have celebrated the delivery of three 777s – two 777-300ERs and one 777 Freighter – marking this the 150th 777 into Emirates’ fleet.
This is the first time in 15 years that Boeing has delivered three 777s at one time to a single customer.
Emirates is the world’s largest operator of the 777 and also the only airline ever to operate all six of the 777 variants introduced into service by Boeing. Emirates ordered its first Boeing 777s in 1992 with delivery beginning in June 1996. Emirates continued to order the 777 over the following years including a then record-breaking order for 50 777-300 ERs at the 2011 Dubai Airshow and 150 777Xs at the 2013 edition.
Emirates currently have another 46 777-300 ERs on order with Boeing.
With this delivery, Emirates now has 13 777 Freighters, the world’s largest and longest range twin-engine freighter, capable of flying 4,900 nautical miles (9,070 kilometers). .
