General information about the Boeing 757-200

Boeing 757-200 was designed for routes up to 7000 km with a small passenger flow. At the beginning of its existence, the aircraft was very popular, but in the second half of the nineties of the last century, interest in this aircraft dropped sharply, and in 2004 the Boeing Company stopped its production. The reason was the lack of commercial demand due to the appearance on the market of cheaper-to-maintain Boeing 737 and Airbus A320.

According to pilots, the Boeing 757-200 is a wonderful aircraft and is still used by many airlines. It fully justifies itself on medium-range routes, provided that the cabin is filled at least 3/4. Some information about the aircraft:

  • Crew - 2 pilots.
  • Testing - February 1982
  • Produced from 1982 to 2004.
  • Passenger capacity - max 238 people.
