Kansai first recieved the stretched 777-300 in 1998 and the -300ER in 2005, and these models served as the backbone of Kansai's international fleet (along with select 747-400s) for the majority of the 21st century. Kansai ERs recieved "Empyria Jet" branding when they first entered into service, with each airframe being given the name of a different constellation and an according piece of artwork behind the cockpit; this branding was retired in 2010.
The last 777-300 in the fleet was retired in 2020, while some older ERs are starting to be replaced by A350-1000s. Several of the ERs slated for retirement will be converted to freighters.
