With the fleet China Southern Airlines has, it would be nice to see something different at Toronto than Boeing 777-300ER models like B-7183. At least send a Boeing 787-9 or an Airbus A380-800 once in a while. We photographed this B77W on September 8, 2019 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

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).
