About this video
The Boeing 777 is the best-selling long-haul aircraft in aviation history. It is both high-performing and extremely reliable. And its lifespan is exceptional: over 30 years. But how can this record longevity be explained?
Boeing 777: The Grand Check-Up tells the story of a monumental undertaking where a 777 Triple is completely disassembled, inspected, and refurbished. An incredible surgical operation that an aircraft undergoes after sixteen years of use and tens of thousands of flight hours. With a single objective: to remain at the forefront of technology, comfort, and safety.
