The Boeing 777-200 is a long range, twin aisle, twin-engine jet manufactured by Boeing, the American aerospace company. We operate these aircraft on longhaul routes to North and South America, the Caribbean, Africa, Australasia, the Far East, Middle East and Gulf destinations.
The captain was 63-year-old Chris Henkey, who had been with British Airways since 1973 and received his type rating on the Boeing 777 in 1999. He had 30,000 flight hours, including 12,000 hours on the Boeing 777.
Often referred to as the 'Triple Seven', it was the world’s first commercial aircraft entirely designed by computer. Its visible features include super large engines, low hanging landing gear and a blade shaped tail cone with a relatively narrow tailfin.
British Airways took part in the design of the aircraft with Boeing, and is today one of the world’s largest operators of the type. The Boeing 777 has emerged as a best seller for longhaul commercial aircraft thanks to its excellent fuel efficiency and cabin comfort.
Passenger benefits include:
- Super quiet, super wide cabins with high ceilings
- Personal audio and video systems for all seats
- Choice of First, Club World, World Traveller Plus and World Traveller. (First available on some aircraft)
Sep 29, 2020 It seems as though British Airways is edging nearer to taking delivery of its first Boeing 777 with the new enclosed First suite. Since the carrier launched its Club Suite product last year, the airline’s First cabin has been criticized by some for not being fully enclosed. British Airways’ latest 777 is undergoing test flights in Everett. British Airways Flight 38 was a scheduled international passenger flight from Beijing Capital International Airport in Beijing, China to London Heathrow Airport in London, United Kingdom. On 17 January 2008, the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft operating the flight crashed just short of the runway while landing at Heathrow. There were no fatalities.

G-ZZZA performed its first flight on February 2, 1995 and the Boeing 777-236 was delivered to British Airways on May 20, 1996. The airliner is configured for a maximum total of 216 passengers. There are 17 first class seats, 48 more in business class, 24 seats in premium economy and 127 economy class seats.
This is just one of three Boeing 777-200 models in the British Airways fleet (others are similar, like the Boeing 777-200ER and Boeing 777-200LR). It is the oldest by date of manufacture. However, G-ZZZC was delivered before G-ZZZA.
On March 19, 2019, less than a month before the above photos were taken, G-ZZZA had some problems on a flight bound for London, England from New York City. The flight was to go from New York’s JFK Airport to London Heathrow.

However, about 420 miles past St. John’s, Newfoundland, a cargo smoke indication was received. It was decided to divert to St. John’s, landing safely an hour and a half later.
A replacement Boeing 777-200, G-VIIJ, was brought in from England to take the passengers on the rest of their journey. There was no trace of fire, heat or smoke and it was determined that the fire warning detector was faulty. As a result, the detector was replaced, along with two fire extinguishers.
