It currently has a record with no fatalities which for a workhorse of its capabilities is impressive. However there have been two recent incidents with ice in the fuel delivery system causing engine failure. A near crash at Heathrow averted by quick pilot thinking only resulted in one serious injury.
A serious flaw was found in the design with Boeing and Rolls Royce currently testing a redesigned component that will be available from August of next year.
Despite warnings from the US and UK Safety boards that there is a high probability of this occuring again, airlines are still running with them. This still leaves over several hundred Boeing 777s in service each with a risk of failure.
Is this a case of greed overriding safety and would you still be happy to fly in a Boeing 777 knowing the risk?
