OAG story here

Ahead of all the new developments from both Airbus and Boeing, they're set to start next year:

Passengers can look forward to longer non-stop flights with the introduction of the Boeing 777-200LR Worldliner early next year. The aircraft entered the record books in November with a 22 hour, 42 minute eastbound flight from Hong Kong to London Heathrow – 11,664 nautical miles (21,601km), the equivalent of almost half way round the world.

Yes. Saw that, Paul. Quite fantastic, I'd say. Boeing clearly is set on firmly retaking its leadership in commmercial aircraft production.

Chuck-

Am I being stupid here? HKG-LHR is hardly record breaking, its done a daily basis.

Thanks,

The route they took went east,not west,over the pacific,North America and the north atlantic

Me being stupid then - brain is completely hosed at the moment. The mayhem of the Xbox 360 launching has taken its toll...

Thanks,

Look's like Airbus are going to take on the 777-200LR
