Air India’s new Boeing 777-300ER is a stretched and longer range version of the basic model. It has 342 seats in three-class configuration – four First Class, 35 Executive Class and 303 in Economy.

Air India is mid-way through receiving 23 Boeing 777s that are on order, a mix of ultra long-range 777-200LRs and extended range 777-300ERs.

Non-stop flights have been introduced between Mumbai and New York and Delhi-New York following the induction of the B777-200LRs. The extended range B777-300ERs have been deployed for direct flights between India and Toronto via London.

As more B777-300ERs are gradually inducted, Air India will deploy these aircraft for operating services from multiple points in India to multiple points in North America via a European hub, thus providing direct connectivity.
