Operational Context

Boeing 767-300 — medium to long-haul widebody twinjet

The 767-300 first flew in 1986 and entered service shortly thereafter. It offered increased seating and range compared with the earlier 767-200. The aircraft features a widebody fuselage and efficient twin-engine configuration.

Powered by two turbofan engines producing approximately 60,000 pounds of thrust (267 kN) each depending on variant, the 767-300 cruises at around 460 knots (850 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 400,000 pounds (181,400 kg). Seating typically ranges from 218 to over 250 passengers.

The 767-300 became popular on transatlantic and domestic long-haul routes. Freighter and converted cargo versions remain active today. The model is one of Boeing’s most successful widebody designs.
