777-300
The stretched 777-300 was designed as an A-market replacement for 747-100s and 747-200s.[152] Compared to the older 747s, the stretched 777 has comparable passenger capacity and range, and is designed to burn one-third less fuel and have 40 percent lower maintenance costs.[69] The −300 features a 33.3 ft (10.1 m) fuselage stretch over the baseline −200, allowing seating for up to 550 passengers in a single class high-density configuration,[69] an arrangement adopted for heavily trafficked Japanese routes.[153] Because of the aircraft's length, the −300 is equipped with atailskid and ground maneuvering cameras to aid pilots during taxi.[154] The maximum range is 6,015 nautical miles (11,140 km),[155] allowing the −300 to operate trunk routes previously flown by older 747s.[69]
After being certified simultaneously by the FAA and JAA,[70] the first −300 was delivered to Cathay Pacific on May 21, 1998.[67][71] Eight different −300 customers have taken delivery of 60 aircraft,[1] and all were in airline service as of July 2011.[145] However, following the introduction of the longer-range −300ER in 2004, all operators have selected the ER version of the −300 model.[1] The −300 has no direct Airbus rival, but the A340-600 has been offered in competition.[156][157]
