What the record shows

The original 777. The only genuine airframe/operational accident is Asiana 214 (2013, landing short at SFO). MH17 (2014, missile shoot-down) and MH370 (2014, disappearance attributed to the operator) are excluded from this airframe rate by policy and counted against Malaysia Airlines instead.

Engine programme: Mature engines (GE90 / PW4000 / Trent 800); no active fleet-wide AD program.
