Operational Context
Boeing 767-200 — early widebody twin-engine jet
The 767-200 first flew in 1981 and entered service in 1982. It was developed to serve medium and long-haul routes with improved fuel efficiency compared with earlier widebodies. The aircraft introduced advanced flight deck systems for its era.
Powered by two high-bypass turbofan engines producing approximately 48,000 to 52,000 pounds of thrust (213 to 231 kN) each depending on variant, the 767-200 cruises at around 460 knots (850 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 315,000 pounds (143,000 kg). Seating typically ranges from 180 to 218 passengers.
The 767-200 established the foundation for subsequent 767 variants. It played a significant role in expanding transcontinental and transatlantic services. Many aircraft were later converted to cargo use.
