Boeing 777-200LR Worldliner Arrives at Paris Air Show
PARIS, June 10, 2005 -- The Boeing [NYSE:BA] 777-200LR Worldliner -- the world's longest-range commercial airplane -- completed its first intercontinental flight today, arriving at the Le Bourget, France, airport for the 46th Paris Air Show.
This week in Montreal , the 777-200LR kicked off its "Going the Distance" tour, and will visit more than 20 cities in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Australia, and North America through August.
Later this year, the Worldliner will attempt to set a new world record for distance traveled nonstop by a commercial airplane. The current record -- 10,823 nautical miles (20,044 kilometers) -- was set in 1997 by the 777-200ER (Extended Range).
