The wide-body, twin-engine Boeing 767 jetliner was introduced by the company to complement its larger Boeing 747 by serving specific markets that were not practical for or could not be served by the bigger plane. The Boeing 767 enabled seven abreast cross seating and featured Boeing's first two-crew glass cockpit, which was jointly developed for the 757, not only permitting a common pilot type rating, it did away with the necessity for a flight engineer, forever changing the architecture of the cockpit. Having entered service in September 1982 with United Airlines as the launch customer for the Boeing 767-200, Boeing subsequently released five further variants of the 767, including the extended range 767-200ER in 1984, the stretched 767-300 in 1986, and the extended range 767-300ER in 1988, which was the most popular variant of the line. Boeing then introduced its first freighter version of the 767 in 1995, the 767-300F followed by the 767-400ER, a second stretched passenger version of the aircraft that was released in 2000. Initially used for U.S. transcontinental flights, after the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established the special flight regulations via ETOPS (Extended-Range Twin-Engine Operations Performance Standards), an acronym pertaining to established rules and parameters by which twin-engine aircraft must operate. The Boeing 767-300 was the first stretched version of the aircraft and entered service with launch customer Japan Airlines in 1986. Approximately 21 feet longer than the preceding Boeing 767-200 aircraft, because a stretched variant was incorporated into the initial design of the Boeing 767, much of the original aircraft remained primarily unchanged. Manufactured from 1986 until 2000, with a total of 104 aircraft having been produced, the expanded Boeing 767-300 has been utilized extensively on high-density routes in Asia and Europe.
