The Boeing 767 is a commercial passenger airplane manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
The Boeing 767, which was introduced in about the same time period as the 757, has a seat-to-aisle ratio in economy class of 3.5 seats per aisle, making for quicker food service and quicker exit of the plane than other jetliners, which typically have between four and six seats per aisle in economy class.
