727-251

The Boeing 757 and 767 were the first, and still are, the only airplanes to share a common type

rating. The common type rating is due, in part, to airplane systems that are designed such that a

common set of flight crew operating procedures can be used. Airlines that operate both

the Boeing 757 and 767 have greater flexibility in assigning flight crews and adapting to changing

markets. They also benefit from similar maintenance procedures, manuals and inspection

requirements and reduced spares inventories. More than 26 airlines around the world operate both

757s and 767s
