On 14 July 1978 United Airlines ordered 30 Boeing 767-200 twinjets worth US$1.2 billion, giving Boeing the launch customer for its first twin-aisle twinjet. United bundled it with 30 727-200s in a package then billed as the largest single transaction in commercial aviation.

The first Boeing 767-200, N767BA, flew for the first time on 26 September 1981 from Everett, Washington, seven weeks after its rollout. It began a ten-month flight-test program that used the first six aircraft built.

The FAA approved the Boeing 767-200 under Type Certificate A1NM on 30 July 1982, ten months after first flight and three weeks before the first delivery to United Airlines.

On 19 August 1982 Boeing handed the first 767 (N606UA, ninth off the line) to United Airlines at its Everett plant. United put it into service on 8 September as flight UA1767 from Chicago to Denver.
