F-GSPD
F-GSPD performed its first flight on December 19, 1998 and was delivered to Air France on January 12, 1999. The Boeing 777-228ER is configured for a maximum total of 280 passengers with 40 seats in business class, 24 in premium economy and 216 economy class seats. As mentioned, this is one of 25 Boeing 777-200ER models in the main Air France fleet.
Back on March 5, 2009, a pair of flight attendants got some time off after an incident on a flight from Paris, France to Toyko, Japan. On its descent toward Narita International Airport in Tokyo, the airliner shook violently, causing serious injuries to two flight attendants in the aft galley. The aircraft was not damaged and there were no other injuries. F-GSPD landed safely in Tokyo shortly after.
