The Hunting Two-Eleven or 2-11 is a British short-to-medium range jet airliner derived from the earlier Hunting One-Eleven. The Two-Eleven began development in the late 1970s as an improvement on the One-Eleven. The Two-Eleven made its first flight on February 9, 1981 and made its commercial debut that November for British Airways.

Compared to the One-Eleven, the Two-Eleven has larger passenger capacity, longer range, improved aerodynamics, and high-bypass General Electric GE36 turbofan engines for less noise and better fuel economy. The Two-Eleven was offered in three variants:

  • The 2-11 300, which seats 110-140 passengers and has a range of 2,375 nautical miles
  • The 2-11 400, which seats 126-149 passengers and has a range of 2,255 nautical miles
  • The 2-11 500, which seats 147-168 passengers and has a range of 2,060 nautical miles

Hunting would eventually deliver 2,160 Two-Elevens between 1981 and 1999. As of 2017, 934 Two-Elevens remain in commercial service.
