===767-200ER=== [[File:El Al Israel Airlines Boeing 767-27E-ER 4X-EAF (22343721261).jpg|thumb|A 767-200ER of its launch customer, [[El Al]]. The -200ER is externally similar to the -200.]] The 767-200ER was the first extended-range model and entered service with [[El Al]] in 1984.<ref name=Boe_767_back/> The type's increased range is due to extra fuel capacity and higher maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of up to {{cvt|395000|lb|sigfig=3}}.<ref name=no163/><ref name=762specs/> The additional fuel capacity is accomplished by using the center tank's dry dock to carry fuel. The non-ER variant's center tank is what is called ''cheek tanks''; two interconnected halves in each wing root with a dry dock in between. The center tank is also used on the -300ER and -400ER variants.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647811907 |title=Aircraft fuel systems |date=2008 |publisher=Wiley |author=Langton, Roy |isbn=978-0-470-05947-0 |location=Chichester, West Sussex, UK |oclc=647811907}}</ref>{{Rp|35}} This version was originally offered with the same engines as the {{not a typo|767-200}}, while more powerful [[Pratt & Whitney PW4000]] and [[General Electric CF6]] engines later became available.<ref name="no163" /> The 767-200ER was the first 767 to complete a non-stop [[Transatlantic flight|transatlantic]] journey, and broke the flying distance record for a twinjet airliner on April 17, 1988, with an [[Air Mauritius]] flight from Halifax, [[Nova Scotia]] to Port Louis, [[Mauritius]], covering {{cvt|8727|nmi|sigfig=3}}.<ref name="Eden_p102" /> The 767-200ER has been acquired by international operators seeking smaller wide-body aircraft for long-haul routes such as New York to Beijing.<ref name="Eden_p102" /><ref name="762specs" /> Deliveries of the type totaled 121 with no unfilled orders.<ref name="767_O_D_summ" /> As of July 2018, 21 examples of passenger and freighter conversion versions were in airline service.<ref name="FI_Airlines_2018" /><!-- Updates require a newer reference. --> The type's main competitors of the time included the [[Airbus A300-600]]R and the [[Airbus A310-300|A310-300]].<ref name="Eden_p104" />
