As previously reported, delivery of the first B777-9s is not expected before the first quarter of 2024. Etihad earlier said it remained committed to its order of twenty-five B777Xs, including seventeen B777-9s and eight B777-8s. The CEO added it was premature to comment on how Etihad's existing order of the Next Generation B777X type fitted into its new fleet plan. “You will see of us (operating) a very focused, a very disciplined operating model which is heavily built around the B787 Dreamliner and A350-1000,” Douglas said.Īccording to the ch-aviation fleets advanced module, Altavair owns 18 of the B777-300(ER)s while Air Lease Corporation owns one. According to the ch-aviation fleets advanced module, the Middle East carrier owns nineteen B777-300(ER)s, some of which it has converted into makeshift freighters in response to increased cargo demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was disclosed by Chief Executive Officer Tony Douglas when speaking during the online World Aviation Festival on April 22, 2021.

Etihad Airways (EY, Abu Dhabi International) will retire its entire fleet of B777-300ERs by year-end as part of a five-year restructuring plan to down-scale into a more commercially sustainable airline.
