British Airways 777-300er

G-ZZZA is the oldest Boeing 777 of any variant in the British Airways main fleet. If not for the Boeing 747-400 models, this Boeing 777-200 would be the oldest in the entire fleet. We photographed this B772 on April 17, 2019 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

G-ZZZA

G-ZZZA performed its first flight on February 2, 1995 and the Boeing 777-236 was delivered to British Airways on May 20, 1996. The airliner is configured for a maximum total of 216 passengers. There are 17 first class seats, 48 more in business class, 24 seats in premium economy and 127 economy class seats.

This is just one of three Boeing 777-200 models in the British Airways fleet (others are similar, like the Boeing 777-200ER and Boeing 777-200LR). It is the oldest by date of manufacture. However, G-ZZZC was delivered before G-ZZZA.

On March 19, 2019, less than a month before the above photos were taken, G-ZZZA had some problems on a flight bound for London, England from New York City. The flight was to go from New York’s JFK Airport to London Heathrow.

However, about 420 miles past St. John’s, Newfoundland, a cargo smoke indication was received. It was decided to divert to St. John’s, landing safely an hour and a half later.

A replacement Boeing 777-200, G-VIIJ, was brought in from England to take the passengers on the rest of their journey. There was no trace of fire, heat or smoke and it was determined that the fire warning detector was faulty. As a result, the detector was replaced, along with two fire extinguishers.
