The Boeing 757-200 is a medium-range, narrow-body jet airliner that was produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes from 1982 to 2004. It is the first member of the 757 family, and was designed to replace the Boeing 727 on short- to medium-haul routes. The 757-200 is powered by two Rolls-Royce RB211-535C turbofan engines, and has a maximum range of 3,900 nautical miles (7,200 km). It can accommodate up to 239 passengers in a single-class configuration, or 186 passengers in a two-class configuration.
The 757-200 was a popular aircraft with airlines around the world, and was used on a wide variety of routes. It was particularly popular with charter airlines, as it was able to operate from smaller airports than the larger 767. The 757-200 was also used by the United States Air Force as a transport aircraft, and was designated the C-32.
