How to fly on a Boeing 767-400

The final passenger variant of the Boeing 767 airliner was the 767-400ER, developed in the late 1990s.

Featuring a stretch of 6.43m over the 767-300, with plugs inserted in the fuselage in front of and behind the wings, it has a greater capacity for passengers.

The 767-400ER also incorporated updated features from the 777 in its cabin and cockpit, and added raked winglets to improve aerodynamic efficiency.

The 767-400 was developed by Boeing knowing that important customer Delta was looking to replace its Lockheed TriStars, and Continental Airlines was looking to replace its McDonnell Douglas DC-10s.

Ultimately these were the only two airlines to order the 767-400, with Continental introducing it to service on 14 September 2000.

Only 37 examples of the 767-400 were built, with 1 being a private jet and the others split between Delta and United Airlines today (Continental and United merged in 2012).

How to fly on a 767-400

Many aviation enthusiasts like to target a flight on a 767-400 because of its rarity.

Both Delta and United fly their 767-400s on both domestic and international schedules out of their major hubs, and with most still flying it’s relatively easy to fly on one – for the time being!

At present, both airlines plan to keep their 767-400s flying for the foreseeable future, despite more modern types like the Boeing 787 and Airbus A330neo and A350 coming in.
