Track Boeing 777-8 aircraft live

The Boeing 777-8 is the shorter passenger model of the 777X family. It has two engines and folding wingtips. The FAA lists the passenger model under B778. Boeing publishes seating figures for a two-class cabin. If you are looking at seat information, check the full model name, since Boeing also uses the 777-8 name for a freighter.

About the Boeing 777-8

Boeing gives the passenger 777-8 a fuselage length of 70.9 meters (232 feet 6 inches). The 777-9 measures 76.7 meters. Boeing lists a range of up to 9,500 nautical miles (17,590 kilometers) for the passenger 777-8. That figure is a manufacturer specification. The distance possible on an individual flight depends on payload and operating conditions.

Seating capacity

Boeing lists 350–425 seats for a two-class 777-8. The range is a manufacturer specification for the passenger version. The actual total depends on how the operating airline allocates space to classes, service areas and seating rows. Check the carrier’s own cabin plan for a specific flight.

Cabin layout

Boeing describes a wide passenger cabin for the 777X. The 777-8 is a twin-aisle model. A two-class seat count does not tell you how many seats are in each row or whether a particular seat has direct aisle access. The airline’s plan shows those details for the specific configuration, including the seat letters and the positions of exits and lavatories.

How to recognize a Boeing 777-8

Look for a wide fuselage, one engine under each wing and outer wing sections that can fold upward on the ground. Boeing lists 71.8 meters of wingspan with the tips extended and 64.8 meters with them folded. The 777-9 shares those wingspan figures, so compare fuselage length in side views and use the registration to confirm the model.

Variants and related aircraft

The FAA lists the 777-8 under B778 and the 777-9 under B779. Both belong to the 777X family. Boeing also lists the 777-8 Freighter as a cargo model with its own specifications. The passenger seat figures here describe the passenger 777-8.
