Boeing 777 captain salary in Europe 2026

Captain pay at 11 airlines in Europe flying the Boeing 777 runs from €70k to €349k a year gross, with a median of €176k. The highest figure in this list is at KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (incl. KLM Cityhopper). Pay is set per airline, not per aircraft type: most airlines pay one scale across their fleet, and where a scale differs by aircraft (often more on widebodies) the airline page shows it.

Gross yearly pay in euros, converted at current exchange rates. Monthly pay is counted 12 times, hourly rates at 900 paid hours a year. Figures come from collective agreements, official airline packages, the aviation press and, where nothing better exists, unofficial figures (marked). Updated 3 Nov 2026.
