What other airlines put their name on the underside of their aircraft?
ConcordeBoy is a twin supremacist!! He supports quadicide!!
26 will be leased (I believe from GECAS and ILFC) while four are purchased directly from Boeing, with nine more options (so the 13 Boeing gives will be the four firm orders plus the nine options, the rest will be listed under ILFC and GECAS)

Since EK is going to be operating both the A340-600HGW and the 777-300ER, I'm definitly looking forward to what EK thinks which one out of the two is more reliable and profitable Aircraft. I'm sure that answer will come in Future orders.

This is pretty much a pointless point but, I live about 8 miles south of Boeing Field, directly in the flight path to the runway, and the first time I saw this 773 come over head, at 600 or so feet, I must say that it was nice to be told by the plane itself what airline its owned by. I'm right under them when they go over so its hard to see enough of the tail when it goes away to even have any kind of idea of the carrrier. I would say that no matter what plane it is, I can only tell 10 percent or so of the carriers that come over because of the angle.
Hey look everyone, its another pointless post by me.

New York would be a possibility.

Since the A380 won't be available until sometime in '06 at the earliest, the 773ER could provide more capacity in the interim.

Is the 773ER fitted with the same cabin as the A345? if not I doubt you will see it go to New York.

I find it incredible that EK is planning to fly a B773ER to GLA. Is there really such a demand for the DBX-GLA route? I thought they were flying A330s on that route...
But, hey, it's great for all Glasgow spotters!

First route for the B777-300ER will in fact be DXB-MNL and vv on the EK334/335, 6x weekly (daily ex-mon). A6-EBA is actually a high density config. acft and will be exclusively used on this route for the first couple of months.
A6-EBB is a low density config. acft and will be deployed on the EK418/419 DXB-BKK-SYD-AKL and vv. The route will operate 3x weekly during April and then move upto a daily operation in May once A6-EBC arrives.
From what i understand the -300ERs wont have the F class cabins like the A345s but will feature flat bed seats and a AVOD system. Not sure if its exactly the ICE system that's on the 345s.

I am surprised the 773ER will not be replacing the A345 on the SYD-DXB direct route. According to Boeing range charts the distance is not a problem and the 773ER would provide more seats and cargo capacity over the A345.
This route is also scheduled to go to A380 when it arrives, so wouldn't an increase now be a good move?
25 Aerokiwi: Odd that they are under-using the 773ER for the BKK-SYD-AKL route. Surely a 773 is fine for this route. Though it will be nice to have the option of a
26 DColeMAN: Does anyone know when Emirates will have all of their 773ERs by? Cheers, Dale
27 ScottishLaddie: Passenger loads on the A332 are now around 75%-85%, clearly not justifying a B773! But the route carries substantial amounts of cargo and has done wo
28 Emirates777: Emirates should receive all of its B777-300ERs by September 2007. However note they have 9 options which are valid until 2013 - it is likely that Emir
29 N1120A: If the 773ER cannot do DXB-SYD, neither can the A346HGW
30 SNATH: Oh, I see. Thanks for the info ScottishLaddie! I used to live in Glasgow and I miss it! GLA is my personal favourite airport! Tony
31 Gigneil: The problem, if I'm not mistaken, is engine-out performance at DXB. N
32 N1120A: IC, but still, if EK gets GE to certify the GE-90 to -125 specs (was sustaining 127,500 last I heard) then that should not be an issue at all.
34 N1120A: Udo giving the 777 one up on the A340, and now you and I agreeing. What is the world coming to?
35 RichardJF: does that mean it could in fact do DXB-SYD non-stop?
36 N1120A: Quite easily. It can right now, the only issue is engine out, which is cutting it close with the GE90-115. GE is reliably producing 127,500 with the
37 Gigneil: It could technically do it now if the world was regulation-free. It can fly the route today, but with weight restrictions. The restrictions are in pla
38 N1120A: How can DXB be high? Dubai is on the water. Now hot is an understatement
39 Gigneil: My brain can't type hot without high for some reason. N
40 N1120A: Probably has to do with something that you burns and gets you high
41 Ozair: Thanks for the clarification on the capability of the 773ER. I will be impressed if GE get that engine going at 125 regular for certification. Another
42 N1120A: They have already sustained 127,500 reliably. Getting 125 certified is just a matter of EK and Eithad paying for it
43 The Coachman: Emirates777, Any info on the IFE system on the -300ER (particularly in Y class) would be welcome (due to the soon-to-come 2nd flight to SYD). cheers,
44 ACB777: I am flying LHR-DXB and back in August this year. Will the plane be a 777-300ER. Right now its scheduled to be a 777-300, but could that change? The f
45 B742: Isn't the 777-300ER supposed to replace EK's current A340-300's? Rob!
46 QFA001: FWIW, the breakdown on the 26 leased is 14 GECAS and 12 ILFC. All up, EK will take 10 B773ERs in 2005; 12 in 2006 and 8 in 2007. Not a direct answer
47 Udo: I haven't changed my opinion at all, it was rather you who didn't realize earlier my objective point of view. Regards Udo
48 Behramjee: Yes when EK originally placed the B 773ER order, I clearly recall reading a comment from them that this order was intended to replace the A 343s on a
53 Gigneil: I really don't see any way for that to be possible. The A343s will continue to be on lease for 6 years after the last 773ER arrives, and they're not
54 N1120A: Unless EK is going for yet another capacity jump. If they are to feed all those A380s, they may need more seating capacity. Still, I agree with you i
