Description:
The Boeing 767 is a complete family of twin-engine aircraft suitable for medium and long range operations which can accommodate from 200 to 300 passengers as well as cargo in the 767 freighter variant. The first version, a 767-200, entered service in 1982 and its final delivery occurred in 1994. The 767 family has low fuel consumption and produces less pollutant per pound of fuel than other similar twin-engine aircraft.
The Boeing 767-300ER is derivative of -300 model fitted with center fuel tanks for additional range and additional seating capacity. Typically, in a one-class, two-class or three-class configuration a single -300ER aircraft is able to carry 218, 269 or 351 passengers.
The first 767-300ER aircraft was delivered to American Airlines in 1988.
On 30 June 2005, Boeing and Japan Airlines (JAL) finalized an agreement for six Boeing 767-300ERs valued at $800 million list prices. The Japanese carrier ordered three passenger variants and three freighters with deliveries beginning in 2007 through early 2008. The General Electric CF6-80C2 turbofan engine was selected to power these airplanes.
On 2 August 2005, Chile-based LAN Airlines confirmed a firm order for six Boeing 767-300 airplanes to be added to another six 767s ordered in 2004. These 767s are a combination of 767-300ERs and 767-300Fs valued at $1.73 billion. The first of 12 aircraft was delivered in July 2005 and the final delivery is expected to be done by October 2008.
