The History of the Boeing 777

The story of the Boeing 777 begins in the late 1980s and early 1990s, a period of significant shifts in the commercial aviation landscape. Airlines were increasingly seeking aircraft that offered a balance of long-range capability, passenger capacity, and operational efficiency. Boeing, a dominant force in aircraft manufacturing, recognized this evolving demand and embarked on a project to fill the gap between its existing wide-body offerings, the Boeing 767 and the iconic Boeing 747.
