Another long running success for Boeing?
What now for the 757, perhaps another ten to fifteen years as freighters before they end up being broken up for parts!
The success of the type was due to its long range and passenger capacity, but not before long it was in competition with the European Airbus A330-300/900 that is still flying and making waves with many airlines around the world?
Boeing still has the 767-400 and the 737-MAX series, but they are not wide bodies and the 777 needs a longer runway than what the 767 needed, with no provision for a replacement as yet, the market is now open to Airbus to introduce a newer A330-900!
