Which Airlines Have the Largest 767 Fleets in 2025?

The Boeing 767 first made its entry to service in 1982 when the original prototype 767-200 variant flew.

Since then, the type has gone on to impact the aviation industry worldwide, with some 1,320 examples having been built – and still more coming off the production line today, albeit as freighters.

Boeing recently announced that it would likely cease building the 767 in 2027, after some 45 years of continuous production. As it focuses on more modern types like the 777X and 787 Dreamliner, the 767 is considered more of a product of the past, with less efficient and quiet engines.

 

Which Airlines Have the Largest 767 Fleets?

Today, some 760 Boeing 767s are still active around the world. This makes it one of the most likely aircraft you’ll see at many airports.

However, older variants like the 767-200 are now very rare, and the number of passenger operators of 767s are starting to dwindle.

These are the airlines with the largest 767 fleets in 2025:

 

FedEx

The largest current operator of the Boeing 767, FedEx uses freighter variants of the airliner. It has around 125 active examples in its fleet.

 

UPS Airlines

The Louisville-based freight giant has the second-largest active fleet of Boeing 767s, with some 80 freighters on its books.

It will also likely be the last to take delivery of a new 767, as it has more on order.

 

Delta Air Lines

The world’s largest fleet of passenger-carrying Boeing 767s belongs to Delta Air Lines, which uses the type (both -300ER and -400 variants) on international and domestic flights out of its hubs. It has around 60 active 767s.

 

Amazon Air

Another airline which uses Boeing 767 freighters – often former passenger aircraft converted to carry freight – is Amazon Air. It has over 50 of the type flying around the world.

Also known as ATI, this cargo airline uses around 50 Boeing 767s, comprising both 767-200 and -300 freighters – mostly former passenger machines – on services all over the Americas. Some operate on behalf of Amazon Air and Aloha Cargo.

 

United Airlines

The next largest fleet of passenger 767s belongs to United Airlines, which has both 767-300ER and -400 types flying on international and domestic routes.

The days of the -300s are numbered, however, with more 787 Dreamliners joining the fleet.

 

Japan Airlines

Japan Airlines 767-300

Flying mostly on domestic routes within Japan, the national carrier has around 25 Boeing 767-300ER aircraft active at the time of writing.

Similarly, All Nippon Airways also uses around 24 of the type on domestic services.

Another cargo airline flying both 767-200 and -300 freighters is ABX Air, based in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International and Miami International airports. It has around 25 of the type in service.

The recent update listed only two airlines still flying the Boeing 767-200 in passenger service.

The other is UTair. This Russian carrier has a fleet of three Boeing 767-200ERs which it uses on domestic routes in Russia from its base at Moscow Vnukovo, as well as regional services to Armenia, Dubai, Uzbekistan and India.

I loved the 767 and flown on 200 and 300 series, first flight June 1983 (ANSETT) and last one 2012 (LAN CHILE)
Total of 44 flights including many in the cockpit jumpseat.
Great to see the aircraft still in production, albeit military.
