Narrative:
I am submitting this report as a result of being informed by [company] representative that a flight; or flights; I operated were potentially in violation of crash fire rescue equipment 121.555. I was unaware of this at the time I was scheduled and then operated the potentially violation flights. Although I understand it is the joint responsibility of the crew (captain) and the dispatcher to ensure the airport is opspecs legal before the operation of a flight; it is not the norm to check each and every leg in a regularly scheduled; [dispatch packet] produced and approved flight segment and pairing. First officer and I operated without being aware that ZZZ was listed as an alternate; not a destination airport in opspecs for [company] boeing 767 aircraft. We were made aware of this via email. Captain and first officer operated the following flights with aircraft X; a B-767-300. [We flew a] city pairings we do not normally operate; but to our knowledge were normal domestic gateways. This was a trip in the published [dispatch package] and had no reason to believe any discrepancies or legal issues were involved in operating this trip. Perhaps in the future we as a crew and certainly me as the captain will query the dispatcher more often when operating unfamiliar city pairs for legal issues in addition to my normal communication with dispatch.
