A6-EGA
A6-EGA performed its first flight on March 31, 2010. The Boeing 777-31HER was delivered to Emirates Airlines on April 14, 2010. This is one of 131 B77W models in the main fleet of this airline. They are the world’s largest operator of the Boeing 777-300ER.
This airliner is configured for a maximum total of 354 passengers. There are six seats in first class, 42 more in business class and 306 economy class seats.
On September 7, 2016, this airplane had some engine troubles on a flight from Dubai, United Arab Emirates to Brisbane, Australia. Cruising at 35,000 feet, nearly 40 miles northwest of Adelaide, Australia, a possible leak in the left side engine was detected. After the engine was shut down, the flight was diverted to Adelaide as a precaution.
It turned out to be a damaged oil supply line which caused low oil pressure and low oil quantity, resulting in the decision to divert. Unfortunately for passengers, there were no hotel rooms available at their unexpected destination and they had to spend the delay at the airport.

Boeing 777-300ER
The Boeing 777-300ER was first delivered to launch customer Air France in 2004, nearly a decade after the initial 777 variant was introduced with United Airlines in 1995. The ER is for ‘extended range’ and this aircraft can fly a lofty 13,650 kilometres between stops.
The B77W is 74 metres or 242 feet in length with a wingspan of 65 metres or 213 feet. At the tail, the airliner is 19 metres or 61 feet in height. Though not the most glamorous of the big airplanes, the Boeing 777-300ER is longer than both the Boeing 747-400 (by 10 feet) and Airbus A380-800 (by 3 feet).
