Re: BA Flight lands short of Runway
This was the first serious accident for the 777 since it began commercial service in 1995.
12+ years of safe service

Says there are 667 in service

Says this one G-YMMM is c/n 30314/342
so a finger in the air guess makes it around 5-6 years old.

Looking at delivery numbers here this was 'craft was delivered in 2001.

I'd think Boeing are more concerned with getting the 787 off the ground than this.
