December 31, 201213 yr I have read in a lot of books and websites but is the 77L really able to fly between any 2 places in the world?
December 31, 201213 yr yea pretty much 9,840nm (rounded number correct if wrong) is a long distance Flying Tigers Group
December 31, 201213 yr Yes, The 777-200LR, the C-market model, became the world's longest-range commercial airliner when it entered service in 2006. Boeing named this aircraft the Worldliner, highlighting its ability to connect almost any two airports in the world, although it is still subject to ETOPS restrictions. It holds the world record for the longest nonstop flight by a commercial airliner, and has a maximum range of 9,380 nautical miles.The −200LR was intended for ultra-long-haul routes such as Los Angeles to Singapore. Developed alongside the −300ER, the −200LR features an increased MTOW and three optional auxiliary fuel tanks in the rear cargo hold. Other new features include raked wingtips, redesigned main landing gear, and additional structural strengthening. As with the −300ER and 777F, the −200LR is equipped with wingtip extensions of 12.8 ft. The −200LR is powered by GE90-110B1 or GE90-115B turbofans. The first −200LR was delivered to Pakistan International Airlines on February 26, 2006. As of June 2012, nine different −200LR customers have taken delivery of 54 aircraft, with 3 unfilled orders. Airlines operated 48 of the −200LR variant as of July 2011. The closest competing aircraft from Airbus was the A340-500HGW
December 31, 201213 yr Well, no, Narnia doesn't have an airport. Refer to this link. But can you fly between any two given airports? Yes, thanks for asking, Happy New Year.
December 31, 201213 yr Author The −200LR was intended for ultra-long-haul routes such as Los Angeles to Singapore. I think this route is flown by Singapore Airlines A340-500. But, maybe the 77L would be a better choice. Can this plane takeoff from small airports? If it can connect any 2 airports, it should have some sort of ability.
December 31, 201213 yr Singapore uses the A345 for the New York route, and I think your right, they send it to LAX too, alongside some T7s. They use the A340-500 on routes with lots of premium demand and not much Y passengers (economy etc) Lee
January 1, 201313 yr Singapore uses the A345 for the New York route, and I think your right, they send it to LAX too, alongside some T7s. They use the A340-500 on routes with lots of premium demand and not much Y passengers (economy etc) Lee Singapore Airlines uses A380s via Narita. And they also have nonstop service that they operate the A345s on. Note though that the A340-500s that they use are business and first class seats only to save weight and extend the range.
January 2, 201313 yr Author . Note though that the A340-500s that they use are business and first class seats only to save weight and extend the range. Well i read on a website that the route was being replaced by the 777. And it may have one stop.
January 2, 201313 yr Well i read on a website that the route was being replaced by the 777. And it may have one stop. They dropped the Newark-Singapore route last year I believe. At least they announced it was finishing. There is an SQ flight out of JFK that stops in Frankfurt I believe (that ran alongside and will continue). Thanks Matthew T Gardiner
January 2, 201313 yr Author There is an SQ flight out of JFK that stops in Frankfurt I believe (that ran alongside and will continue). JFK to EDDF and onto WSSS! That would be a hell of a flight for passengers of JFK going to WSSS.

January 2, 201313 yr Myth busted. Even the 777 can't fly London to Auckland non-stop. Great circle route is 9,910NM and that leaves questionable ETOPS coverage over the Artic and the Western Pacific, and I haven't been able to find a valid ETOPS route under 10,100 NM. Paul Smith.
January 2, 201313 yr I think this route is flown by Singapore Airlines A340-500. But, maybe the 77L would be a better choice. Can this plane takeoff from small airports? If it can connect any 2 airports, it should have some sort of ability. I bet the airplane could land in short runway (barley any fuel, no pax, no cargo). Taking-off is an art of its own.
January 3, 201313 yr Why would you think the 777 could land on a short runway? You would not expect a 747 to land on a grass strip, have you forgotton just how big an aircraft the 777 is? Paul Smith.
