The Boeing 757-200 was originally designed to replace the famous 727-200 whose 20 year old design had seen its day. Airlines were in need of an aircraft with a slightly higher passenger capacity, yet had to be economically superior. With orders placed from initial launch customers, Eastern Airlines and British Airways, the 757-200 became a reality. First flown as a prototype on 19 February, 1982 and after completing certification, Eastern Airlines launched 757 service on 1 January, 1983. Although originally delivered with Rolls Royce engines, certain airlines opted for Pratt & Whitney powered aircraft and both engines have proven to be quite popular for their respective customers. The 757-200 has proved to be one of the most fuel efficient airliners ever built with Revenue Seat per Mile (RSM) cost. The best in the industry. Condor Airlines of Germany, who has experienced extreme satisfaction with the 757-200 was the launch customer of the stretched 757-300 which went into service in early 1999. The 757-300 is the longest single-aisle twin-jet ever built.
