History and Specifications:
Introduced in the 1980s as an update to their 767-200, Boeing’s 767-200ER had nearly twice the range of its earlier counterpart. Designed to carry 181 passengers in three-class configuration, it could fly at speeds up to 565 mph for 7,600 miles. Expanding transatlantic flight routes, the 767-200ER could travel from New York to Dehli, London to Singapore, or Beijing to Sydney without having to refuel. Though first deliveries began in 1984, both Pratt & Whitney PW4000 and General Electric CF6 engines were not immediately available as an option for 767-200ER customers. Once they were, the 767-200ER’s efficiency greatly increased. Manufactured in Everett, Washington, Boeing produced just 121 examples with no orders left unfulfilled.
