Boeing custermer code -36(BA)

The door configuration was customer preference, not MGTOW. Same with the 767-300, which come with 4 full doors, 3 full doors and 1 overwing exit, or 2 full doors and 2 overwing exits. AA, UA, DL, etc. opted for the latter.

Hi Bmused,

It’s taken from the BA website. It only shows the tail on there too, not the whole aircraft.

1L.

Hey one left, do you have the original image that you used for your avatar? I like the look of that!

Not sure about the other carriers, but Caledonian (at that time owned by BA) had 236’s because they leased their 757’s from BA, and Air Europe at various times leased and acquired 236’s from BA. I particularily remember G-BKRM going back and forward between the two companies like a yoyo.

so Perhaps 236 is a standard configuration, once originally ordered by BA but now avaiable to others.

exactly what I was going to say… it was originally BA’s configuration, but it was made available to other customers as well after a while.

hmm, that isa possibility. But Monarch, Britannia etc have had 757’s from brand new and they have different codes.

Monarch 757s are typically 2T7’s, Britannias are 204’s.

Though I’ve seen suffixes such as 2YO, 225, 28A etc.

On saying that, Caledonian and Air Europe both operated 757-236’s.
Britannia even now have a few 236’s

so Perhaps 236 is a standard configuration, once originally ordered by BA but now avaiable to others.

If I’m not mistaken most 757’s registered in the UK are maintained under -236 configuration, to save costs and reduce paperwork when importing aircraft. If they can use or convert it to the already certified -236 model, there isn’t any need for certification under the UK CAA regulations. I think I read it in an ancient issue of Aircraft Illustrated.

The Door configuration has something to do with the MTOW.

The higher weight models have the overwing exits.

I’ll look into this

Here are some of the carriers with some 757s that have double overwing exits
Iberia Xiamen Shanghai
Delta El Al
Northwest Dutchbird
American Mexicana
United Icelandair

I was on one of Britannias first 757’s leased from Icelandair and it had two overwing exits on each side. It even had its own saftey card with the registartion which I can’t remember on the top.

agree, also AA have this as well, but like I said everbody seems to put them as a -236. Air 2000 have had 2 ex usair ones and even the apear as 236.

United have the two overwing exits as opposed to the small door aft of the wing, too. I’m sure there’s more, too… Iberia, for example…
