The 1,050th and final 757, a Shanghai Airlines 757-200, was the centerpiece of a ceremony at the company's Renton, Wash., factory. The 757 is one of only seven large commercial jetliner models that sold more than 1,000 units.
The capabilities of the Next-Generation 737 family and launch of its all-new 7E7 Dreamliner led Boeing to conclude the 757 program. The final 757 will be the 1,049th delivered to an airline. Boeing uses the first 757 as a test bed.
