Boeing 767-200ER

762 B762 Out of Production

An extended-range development of the original Boeing 767, the 767-200ER was the first twin-engine wide-body cleared under ETOPS rules to fly transatlantic routes. It seats about 181 passengers in two classes and up to 255 single-class, with two GE CF6-80A2 turbofans giving a range near 12,200 km at 851 km/h. First flown in 1984, the aircraft is 48.5 metres long with a 47.6-metre wingspan and a maximum takeoff weight of 179,170 kg. By demonstrating that a twinjet could safely operate long overwater sectors, the -200ER helped open the era of twin-engine long-haul flying that later wide-bodies would come to dominate.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Boeing 767-200ER typically seats 181 passengers in a three-class configuration. In a high-density two-class layout, it can carry up to 224 passengers. The cabin is 4.72 m wide, using a 2-3-2 seating arrangement in economy that gives a high proportion of passengers window or aisle seats with no middle seat in the center section.

The Boeing 767-200ER has a maximum range of approximately 12,200 km (6,590 nautical miles). This extended range was achieved by increasing fuel capacity compared to the standard 767-200. The aircraft is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW4056, General Electric CF6-80C2, or Rolls-Royce RB211 engines. It was one of the first twin-engine aircraft approved for ETOPS (Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards) transatlantic operations.

The 767-300ER is a stretched version with a 6.4 m longer fuselage, carrying about 50 more passengers (218 vs 181 in three-class). The 767-300ER became far more commercially successful with over 580 deliveries compared to the 767-200ER's 121 units. Both share the same wing, cockpit, and systems, but the -300ER's better per-seat economics made it the preferred choice for most airlines.

The 767-200ER is a medium-size wide-body that appears compact compared to larger twins like the 777 or A330. It has two underwing-mounted engines and a conventional tail. The shorter fuselage compared to the 767-300ER is the primary distinguishing feature, with fewer window rows and a shorter cabin section aft of the wing. The 767 family's distinctive nose shape with a slightly upturned look is a good identifier.

Most Boeing 767-200ERs have been retired from mainline passenger service, with the last examples being phased out in the early 2020s. American Airlines was among the final major operators to retire the type. Many 767-200s have been converted to freighters, extending their operational lives. The 767 platform continues in production as the 767F freighter (for FedEx and UPS) and as the basis for the KC-46A Pegasus military tanker, ensuring the 767 production line remains open decades after the passenger variant ceased production.
