Only to make things clear...

Hiya everyone!
Just want to explain something, lots of people in the company talking about the new "ULR" aircraft:
The EK fleet is:
A330-200
A340-300
A340-500
B777-200
B777-200ER (no major difference with the standard 200, just different Take Off Weights)
B777-200LR (Longer Range)
B777-300
B777-300ER

ULR (Ultra Long Range) is the type of operation that the aircraft is able to operate but it's not a type of aircraft itself. The latest 77W that the company has received have the bunks, new seats bla bla bla and it's able to operate ULR flights but it has the same performance as the 1st 77W delivered to EK (A6-EBA). The 772LR (77L) is a different type of aicraft with new wings, undercarriage, weights... therefore the difference with the other 777-200s.

Cheers!
