Boeing 767-200(ER)

The Boeing 767-200(ER) or Extend Range is a wide-body aircraft and variant of the Boeing 767 family. It is a variation of the original model, the Boeing 767-200. As the name suggests, this aircraft has extended range via the installation of additional fuel tanks in the aircraft. The 767-200(ER) has the same dimensions and seating capacity as a standard 767-200. As the 767-200 did, the 767-200(ER) helped pioneered the idea of twin-engine aircraft flying long distances, like trans-Atlantic routes, using ETOPS (Extended Twin-Engines Operations) and proving that a three or four engine aircraft was not required to fly over an ocean. This success led to the development of new route options and pairings as the 767-200(ER) was much smaller than aircraft that traditionally crossed oceans allowing airlines to fly routes with lesser demand that larger aircraft could not sustain. The 767-200(ER) is no longer in production and was designed to fly long haul routes with medium to heavy demand.
