On the 777, we have a few different options as well, different names but more or less the same in principle as what Starlionblue described for the Airbus. The first variation we can make is a fixed derate - TO1 or TO2. These are customer selectable, and at my company are 10 and 20%. These effective...

Jump to postI notice that of EK's 124 777-300ERs only 35 of them (28%) are outfitted for Dubai-U.S. flying. They could use some of their higher-density versions out of GVA, I think. The 3 class ULR configured B77W (with overhead crew rest), are now 37. Including -EPV delivered on 20DEC and -EPW being delivered...
Jump to postEK has just taken delivery of its first B777-300ER, configured with the new Business class seats. A6-EPV. Scheduled to leave KPAE at 1350 local time to DXB, as EK7777/UAE7777. (40 minutes from now). Some interesting points: This A/C is configured with the aft overhead crew rest, and is the first 351...

Jump to postEK's B77L's have 343,639kgs MTOW. Maximum Boeing offers is 347,451Kgs and this is what the EK freighters have. There simply is no need for the additional 4t. Not even to and back from AKL on 99% of flights. The engines are -110B1L1. Takeoff will be Flaps 20, which is the "short runway, no obsta...
Jump to postEngine selection is economic. It can be perceived economy. Fuel burn, maintenance (e.g., spare part prices), and as you noted performance for an environment. For the A320CEO, the CFM56 has lower maintenance costs, but higher fuel burn. Now, on the A321, the maintenance advantage goes away but the V...
Jump to postHuh? From yesterday's DFW-DXB on a 77W: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAE ...

Let m...
Jump to postNo need to bring back the A345 (my favorite starship, BTW). They will soon upgrade the flight to a new shiny A380. With the HGW version in 3 class, I see no more schedule reliability problems. Good for the passengers, more comfort in all classes and punctuality. There are two dozen 575t MTOW A380's...
Jump to postDuring the summer months, with temps above 38-39C, the -300ER becomes MTOW restricted out of DXB. Even on the longer 30L/12R. No problem getting in the air with two engines, but they of course have to assume a engine failure at V1. Leaving only 50% thrust remaining for a safe climb out. Hence the ai...
Jump to postThis change will push the three-strong AI 77L fleet pretty hard. Expect to see the occasional sector operated by 77W.

Jump to postThe bird did not puncture the wing.
As the trailing edge flaps were extended, the bird ended up between one of the slots. After landing, with flaps being retracted it ended up in that position.
Noted on another forum (PPRUNE) that 'EMW was one of a number of 773s sold by EK to CX, to replace the latter's fleet of 772s. Anyone heard more about this. It would make sense; EK could get rid of its last RR powered 777s and standardise on the GE powered -300ERs, while CX would have more RR power...
Jump to postI did wonder why EK maintained an all 77W schedule to JNB, while many other airlines (BA, LH, AF for example) sent the A380. Due to its altitude, I considered JNB the perfect A380 airport. Belly freight. The 77W's carry a lot of payload in the holds. Not uncommon to see 2 of the 4 the return sector...
