Boeing 767-300
The Boeing 767-300 is a stretched version of the original 767-200, extending the fuselage by more than six metres for significantly more seating on the same wing and engines. It became the best-selling version of the 767 family, used on both medium-haul domestic routes and, in its extended-range 767-300ER form, long transoceanic flights. Its twin-aisle cabin and relatively low operating cost made it a favourite for airlines needing widebody capacity without a four-engine jet's fuel burn. Many -300s have since been converted into dedicated freighters, and it remains one of the most common cargo widebodies flying today, including new-build freighters for FedEx and UPS.
