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.
