The 777-200 entered into service with United Airlines on June 7, 1995 with its first flight from London Heathrow Airport to Dulles International Airport.[14] From day one, the 777 was awarded 180-minute ETOPS clearance by the Federal Aviation Administration, making it the first airliner to carry an ETOPS-180 clearance into service.[15] This would later be increased to 207 minutes by October 1996.^{note 1} British Airways placed the first model with General Electric GE90-77B engines into service on November 17, 1995.[16] The first Rolls-Royce Trent 877-powered aircraft was delivered to Thai Airways International on March 31, 1996, completing the introduction of the three power-plants initially developed for the airliner.[17]

In July 2009, Emirates surpassed Singapore Airlines as the biggest 777 operator, when the 78th aircraft was delivered.[18] Since 2010, Emirates is the largest Boeing 777 operator, with 152 aircraft;[19] the carrier began phasing out older −200s, −200ERs and −300s in February 2011,[20] but as of May 2011 has 47 additional −300ER orders scheduled for delivery.[4] Other primary operators are United Airlines (96), Qatar Airways (81), Air France (70), American Airlines (67), and Cathay Pacific (65). As of November 2011, 62 airline customers operate variants of the Boeing 777. The following table lists of active operators of the aircraft as of December 2019.[21]
