Boeing 767-200ER

Extended range — the twin that opened the North Atlantic to two engines · First flight 1984 · In service 1984

The 767-200ER keeps the -200's fuselage but turns the dry bay between the wing-root tanks into a full centre fuel tank and raises maximum take-off weight from 142.9 t to as much as 179.2 t. Range grows from about 7,200 km to roughly 12,200 km.

It first flew on 6 March 1984 and entered service with El Al later that month. The 767-200ER was the first 767 to fly the Atlantic non-stop, and on 17 April 1988 an Air Mauritius aircraft set a twinjet distance record, flying 8,727 nmi (16,160 km) from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Port Louis, Mauritius.

121 were delivered, mostly to airlines that wanted a smaller wide-body for thin long-haul routes. The airframe also became the basis of Japan's E-767 AWACS and the KC-767 tanker.
