Today marks the 10th birthday of the Boeing 777-300ER.

Boeing delivered its first 777-300ER to Air France ten years ago today. Since that day when Air France took home the airplane, another 474 have been delivered to customers around the globe, according to Randy's Journal, a Boeing blog authored by Randy Tinseth, Vice President, Marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

The 777-300ER accounts for more than half of all 777 orders, and is a favorite among airlines and the flying public. It remains the undisputed market leader with the highest reliability (99.5%) and lowest operating cost per seat of any aircraft flying today.

To mark the 10 year milestone, 777 employees said "Happy Birthday" to the airplane in many different languages.
