Boeing has co-branded one of their 777-300ER airlines along with Air China. This is a momentous occasion as it is the first time that Boeing has co-branded  a 777 aircraft along with the commercial jet carrier.

This is not foreign territory to China Airlines as they were the first commercial carrier to use Boeing’s co-branded livery in 2004, when the co-branding was on a Boeing 747-400.

This seems to be part of the ongoing celebrations of the Boeing Centennial.

Perhaps the greatest facet of the Boeing 777-300ER is the new ‘Family Couch’ seats in economy class. This is an incredibly smart seating arrangement where three economy seats convert into a flat surface for added comfort and relaxation.

The Boeing 777-300ER is a plane that has a 358 seat configuration. There are 3 classes across the 358 seats but no doubt, the winner is the “Family Couch” in economy. China Airlines is the only airline in North Asia that offers this unique and much sought after seating.

The particular plane that has been re-branded for China Airlines is called the Blue Whale. China Airlines is a long time customer of Boeing and that has been proven by the fact that this is the 10th Boeing 777 that they have purchased since 2014.

Boeing has stiff competition from Airbus. It is essentially a dead heat with the Boeing 777 going head to head with Airbus A380. Many airlines have favored the A380 but still have the difficulty of finding airports that are able to accommodate these absolute jumbos.
