Angola Airlines (Angola) and ArikAir (Nigeria) have also joined the club of "African airlines operating Boeing 777s".
In late 2007 EgyptAir decided to lease 77Ws for expansion:
“These new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft will allow us to further grow our long-haul routes and offer more premium service to our customers.
We are also pleased to begin a new working relationship with GECAS.” Said Captain Sherif Galal, Chairman/ CEO EgyptAir.
