The Boeing 777-200 is the original and baseline variant of the 777 family, a long-haul wide-body twin-engine jet airliner that entered commercial service in 1995. Designed to bridge the gap between the 767 and 747, it became the world's largest twin-engine commercial aircraft at its introduction and was a landmark in fly-by-wire and composite material usage for Boeing.
The aircraft features a twin-aisle cabin capable of seating up to around 400 passengers in high-density configurations, though typical two-class layouts seat approximately 305–320 passengers. Its two high-bypass turbofan engines—available from GE, Pratt & Whitney, or Rolls-Royce—deliver exceptional fuel efficiency for its class.
The 777-200 laid the groundwork for a successful family of variants including the extended-range 777-200ER, the ultra-long-range 777-200LR, and the stretched 777-300 series. While production of the base -200 has ended, hundreds remain in active service with major carriers worldwide.
