The Boeing 777 is a widebody, twin-engine, twin-aisle aircraft family. The 777-300ER ('Extended Range') variant is the version most associated with Emirates' long-haul network.

Emirates operates one of the largest 777 fleets in the world, using it alongside the A380 as the backbone of its widebody operations.

Boeing has also developed the newer 777X family; how and when different Emirates aircraft types are phased in or out is an operational decision announced by the airline, not something this site predicts.

Emirates-specific information: cabin configuration

Emirates operates 777-300ER aircraft in different cabin layouts, generally featuring First, Business and Economy classes, with cabin details and seat maps varying by aircraft and route.

As with the A380, this site does not publish a single fixed seat count for the 777, since Emirates has multiple cabin configurations across its fleet — check the specific flight's seat map when booking.

Cabin zones

  • Single passenger deck with First, Business and Economy zones on most configurations
  • Multiple galleys distributed through the cabin
  • Overwing and door-type emergency exits
  • Crew rest compartment (typically above the main cabin on long-haul variants)

Interesting facts

  • The 777 was the first commercial aircraft designed entirely using computer-aided design (CAD).
  • Emirates is among the largest operators of the 777 family globally.
  • The 777-300ER's GE90 engines are among the largest and most powerful jet engines ever built.
