Boeing cites 777th 777's significance

Say this seven times really fast: Boeing Co. on Friday delivered its 777th 777.

SEATTLE —

Say this seven times really fast: Boeing Co. on Friday delivered its 777th 777.

The aerospace company turned over the new 777-300ER jetliner to longtime customer Air France, which operates one of the larger fleets of the widebody twinjet in the world.

So far, Boeing says, 56 customers have ordered more than 1,100 777s. Boeing launched the airplane program in 1990, with the first plane entering service in June 1995.

Air France has taken delivery of 40 777s out of 59 it has ordered.
