And another new B77W for EK: A6-EGY, line 1039, first flight today. That means 3 B77Ws are currently in line for delivery.

Boeing are sure getting a move on with orders for EK. More B77Ws the better I say...!

A6-EGV did BHX-DXB today. Lovely to see such new metal at my local airport, hope the passengers appreciated how new she is I bet she still has that factory fresh smell. Am so jealous

As mentioned elsewhere, 90% or more of pax probably don't even know if they're in a Boeing or an Airbus, let alone which model. If they notice it's fresh and new then they'll just think that's the norm.

The first 2 A343s are about to leave the EK fleet. A6-ERQ and A6-ERR will be the first one to go in September and October respectively, and will move to HiFly of Portugal.
