Air Canada 777-200LR Polar Operations DVD

The Boeing 777 is the world's largest twin jet airliner with a capacity of over 300 passengers. It's also Boeing's first fly-by-wire airliner. The B777 was introduced in 1995 and there have been several variants over the years mainly to increase range. The Boeing 777 airliner is enabled for long-haul flights because of ETOPS (Extended Operations) regulations in the 1980s that specify at least 180 minutes flying time from an emergency diversionary airport for twin-engine airliners.

This Air Canada program enables you to experience a Boeing 777-200LR flight from Toronto to Hong Kong using the polar route and back. This 4 and a half hour DVD is hosted by Rick Allen - Air Canada's Senior Director of Flight Operations.
