During the 1980s, #Qantas purchased six of the #Boeing #767-200ER (ER for extra range), and forty-one of the 767-300ER, which proved ideal for the carrier’s expansion into the Asian market. #AviationEvolutions This tweet was posted on November 30, 2018.

The #767 was the first two-engine widebody airliner to be produced by #Boeing. A smaller widebody airliner than the 747, the 767 had a capacity between 200 and 300 passengers and the range for most transoceanic routes. #AviationEvolutions This tweet was posted on November 30, 2018.
