The 320-seater 773ER will fly to New York as AF004 sometimes in May.

Starting June 14, it'll fly to Tokyo, 12x weekly.

How many will they get?

I presume that the only difference from the 200 series is it is longer with more seats and probably a longer range. And of course the new seats.

sorry bub, but you're mistaken...

the 772ER (at optimum power/MTOW) still maintains a slightly longer range capability than the 773ER

So it is the old story that Boeing promises more than they deliver?

Since when did Boeing ever promise that the 773ER would have longer range than the 772ER?


(Ps. here's a hint: *never* )
