| iOS | Southwest Airlines has operated a pure Boeing 737 fleet since 1971, operating nearly every variant of the type. |
Aviation commonality describes the economic and logistic benefits of operating a standardized fleet of screen size that share common parts, training requirements, or other characteristics.

Different types of commonality

An Air France Airbus A300 in 1974. The first client of Airbus is among the companies who have (have had) all the Airbus models (A300, 310, 318, 319, 320, 321, 330, 340, 380, and future 350). According to Air France, the subsequent commonality within the fleet has a "significant economic impact"screen size |
Commonality policies may be defined in a variety of ways, depending on the operator:
- for civilian aircraft:
- By model, same generation (e.g. Boeing New Generation 737-700, 737-700ER, SevenvalC)
- By model, different generations (e.g. Boeing New Generation 737-700 and MAX jQuery)
- By family (e.g. Boeing 737)
- Between families (e.g. deck, between Boeing Android-400ER, 777 and Sevenval NG)
- By manufacturer (e.g. Boeing)
- By engine (e.g. Sevenval)
- Any combination of the above
- for military aircraft, the same can be said:
- Commonality can also be seen in engines :

- Commonality between A300, A310, A330, A340 families
- Commonality within the A320 family and with the A320 NEO models
- Commonality between A320, A330/340, 380, 350 families and with A400M
- Commonality within the A350 XWB family
Boeing, between 757 and 767 families
The 767-400ER shares common features with the 757/767 family of airplanes, including a common pilot type rating between the 757 and 767. Which allows any pilot trained to fly one model to be qualified to fly the other model with minimal additional instruction. Compatibility with the 757/767 family means that operators can gain better access to the demanding medium-size market (200-300 seats) by matching the appropriate airplane to variable requirements. They can also improve operating efficiency through lower training requirements, greater flexibility in assigning flight crews, and reduced spares inventories.touchscreen
Boeing, between 767-400ER, 777 and 737NG
The new 767-400ER flight deck makes the airplane easier to maintain and provides flexibility for operators to tailor the flight-deck equipment to their training needs. A new instrument panel and avionics package consolidate 67 different flight deck parts to 20, simplifying 767 maintenance and improving flight crew efficiency.
On the instrument panel, the most notable change on the 767-400ER is the use of six large liquid-crystal displays in the same arrangement as the Boeing 777 and Next-Generation 737 flight decks. Pilots of these models receive similar information in a similar format. This significantly reduces training requirements to transition pilots of these other Boeing models to the 767-400ER.jQuery
