The Boeing 767-200 is a wide-body aircraft and is the base variant of the 767 family; the (ER) or Extend Range is a variation of the base. The (ER) version has extended range via the installation of additional fuel tanks in the aircraft. The 767-200 & 767-200(ER) have the same dimensions and seating capacity. The 767-200, and the 767-200(ER) more-so, 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 was much smaller than aircraft that traditionally crossed the oceans allowing airlines to fly routes with lesser demand that larger aircraft could not sustain. The 767-200 & 767-200(ER) are no longer in production and were designed to fly long haul routes with medium to heavy demand.
