I'm flying JAL from Paris to Nagoya, Japan and recently received my e-ticket telling me that i will be flying on the triple seven, but from what i've heard, airlines have stopped using 777's with RR engines on really long routes over cold areas because of the Heathrow incident? Or do JAL use 777's with GE90s? and so I'm wondering if they might use a different aircraft?:confused: any ideas?

cheers, :ok:

As I understand it airlines haven't stopped using RR powered 777s but they have adopted procedures to avoid issues with icing (if such issues really were the cause of the BA crash landing at Heathrow).

JAL use GE engines in their 777s.
