Boeing 757-200

The Boeing 757 is a mid-size narrow-body twinjet aircraft, ideal for short to medium-haul routes.

General introduction

The Boeing 757-200 has been by far the most popular 757 variant, with a total of 913 built over the course of its manufacture. The efficient turbofan engines allow take-offs from relatively high altitudes and short runways, and with a maximum range of 6300 km (3900 miles), they are well suited for both domestic and transcontinental flights. The wings are optimized to reduce drag, thereby increasing fuel efficiency.
