The single-aisle 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, and
a lower cost per trip than any twin-aisle airplane. The exceptional
performance of the 757 allows it to operate out of almost any
airport in the world including those in high or hot locations,
with short-field runways, or that are noise-restricted. The 757
is environmentally friendly; it is quiet and fuel-efficient, and
meets strict worldwide standards for engine emissions.
The 757 has excellent records for in-service reliability and
passenger approval. On-board surveys show that passengers prefer
the 757 to all other single-aisle airplanes and many twin-aisle
airplanes. The 757 also shares a common flight deck with the 767,
simplifying pilot training requirements. The versatile 757 can
fly transatlantic and other long-haul routes as well as short-haul
routes equally efficiently.
The 757 family consists of the 757-200, the 757-200 freighter,
and the larger 757-300.
