The single-aisle Boeing 757 is in a
class by itself when it comes to economics and airport performance. The
757 has the lowest operating cost per seat-mile of any single-aisle
jetliner in its class and a lower cost per trip than any twin-aisle
airplane.
The Boeing 757-200 is known for
exceptional fuel efficiency, low noise levels, increased passenger comfort
and top operating performance. The 757 offers versatility by reducing
airport congestion; it can fly both long- and short-range routes and its
broad use effectively lends itself to "hub-and-spoke" planning.
The Boeing 757 freighter is a
derivative of the twin-engine 757-200 passenger jetliner. It is a
dedicated freighter designed to accept up to 15 cargo containers on its
main deck. The freighter retains the same fuel efficiency as the 757-200
passenger model. It also shares similarities with the Boeing 767, such as
an advanced flight deck, air-conditioning packs and auxiliary power units.
The 757-300 is a twin-engine,
short-to-medium-range jetliner offering fuel efficiency, top economic
performance and low noise levels. The 757-300 is a stretched version of
the 757-200, measuring 23 feet 4 inches (7.1 meters) longer. The extra
length allows it to carry 20 percent more passengers than the 757-200 and
increases the available cargo volume by nearly 50 percent.
The passenger cabin of the Boeing
757-200/-300 has a whole new look. The new interior provides passengers
comfortable, aesthetically pleasing surroundings and gives operators a
cabin that is both durable and flexible.
