Overview
The Boeing 767, a widebody jet, was introduced at around the same time as the 757, its narrowbody sister, in the early 1980s. With the 707 aging, Boeing decided to offer a midsize plane to fit in between the 727/737/757 and the 747. The aircraft has a fuselage width of 15 ft 6 in that splits the difference between the aircraft in half. The 767 was approved for U.S. CAT IIIb operation in March 1984. This revision permitted operations with minimums as low as RVR 300. It was the first aircraft certificated for CAT IIIb by the U.S.
The 767 offers a twin aisle configuration of 2+3+2 in economy with the most common business configuration of 2+2+2. It is possible in some charter configurations to squeeze an extra seat for a 2+4+2 configuration, however the seats are very narrow and this is not common. The 767 has a seat-to-aisle ratio in economy class of 3.5 seats per aisle, making for quicker food service and quicker exit of the plane than many other jetliners, which typically have between four and six seats per aisle in economy class.
The flight decks of the Boeing 757 and 767 are very similar and as a result, after a short conversion course, pilots rated in the 757 are also qualified to fly the 767 and vice versa.
The first model of the 767, the-200, was launched in 1978 and entered service with United Airlines in 1982. This model is used mainly for continental routes such as New York to Los Angeles. The 767-200 typically is outfited with 181 seats in a 3-class layout or 224 in a 2-class layout. All -200 models have a capacity limit of 255 due to exit-door limitations. An additional exit door can be specified when the aircraft is ordered to allow for up to 290 seats in a high capacity all Coach (30" pitch 2+4+2) layout. However, this version has never been ordered.
MetroAir released details of the sale of all five 767-200s. Two buyers have come forward; Cerulean Airlines are purchasing three airframes, with Slipstream virtual taking on the remaining two.
