Overview
The 767 was Boeing's first wide-body twinjet, with a two-aisle cabin usually laid out seven abreast. The extended-range 767-300ER became the most popular passenger version and was central to ETOPS — the rules that let twin-engined airliners fly long routes far from diversion airports. In the 1990s it was the most common airliner across the North Atlantic.
Passenger 767s are now being replaced by the 787, but freighter and KC-46 tanker versions have kept the line in production.
