What kind of aircraft is this?

The Boeing 767 is a twin-engine, twin-aisle (wide-body) jet used for long-haul passenger and cargo flying since the early 1980s.

In plain terms, it's a jet (turbofan) multi-engine airplane. Certification: Type certificated (factory design approved by the FAA).

There are 36 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, and about 576 Boeing aircraft with closely related model designations, out of 317,717 registered aircraft in total.

An aircraft's age on its own says little about how safe it is: airliners are maintained on strict, regulator-approved schedules, and inspections become more detailed as aircraft get older. More about the Boeing 767 →
