777-200

Yesterday I photographed this B-2065 AIR CHINA BOEING 777-200 Serial Number 29744 at Pinal Airpark (MZJ). This was the 280th Boeing 777-200 to roll off the Everett Production Site (PAE). It is hard to believe that something 17.5 years old looks almost 100 years old.

 

 

The manufacturer configured this airframe in a 3-class configuration with 30 in business class, 63 in premium economy and 217 in economy. Boeing delivered this aircraft to Air China on May of 200. Registered as B-2065, this 777-200 was one of ten and flew only for Air China.

 

 

The Chinese Communist Party founded the airline on July 1, 1988 in China. This airline is apart of the Air China Group. AIR CHINA's home base is Beijing Capital airport (PEK / ZBAA). The airline has hubs at Shanghai Pudong (PVG / ZSPD) and Chengdu Shuangliu (CTU / ZUUU). This airline has a fleet size of 429 Aircraft. The average age of each aircraft is 7.6 years old. Seating details in Business class include a 60-inch pitch and a width of 21.5 inches. Premium Economy has a 36-inch pitches and a 18 width. Economy has a 32 inch and 17-inch width. Air China Limited (Chinese: 中国国际航空公司) is the flag carrier of the People's Republic of China. Air China has its headquarters in Shunyi District, Beijing,

a hub in Chengdu and a secondary hub in Shanghai-Pudong. Focus cities include Chongqing, Hangzhou, Hohhot, Shenzhen, Tianjin and Wuhan. In 2017, the airline carried 102 million domestic and international passengers.

 

 

On October 29, 2016, Air China withdrew B-2061 from use. The flagship carrier stored B-2061 at Beijing Capital International Airport or 北京首都国际机场 (PEK). On March 10, 2017, B-2061 flew to MZJ for storage. In January 2018, Ascent Aviation broke her up for parts.
