 | The 757 is sold in two versions, the 757-200, and the 757-300. |
 | The 757 models share many features with the twin-aisle 767, which was developed concurrently with the 757-200. |
 | Both 757 models as well as the 767 have a common type-rating, so pilots qualified to fly one of the aircraft also can fly the others with only minimal additional familiarization, saving training time and costs. |
