The 767-300ER is one of Boeing\'s classic widebody airliners, pivotal for long-haul operations since the 1980s, and Delta Air Lines is among the largest operators of the type.

Fleet Rarity

Not rare in Delta\'s fleet as of the early 2020s, but the type is gradually being retired industry-wide.

Record Flights

Flown on transatlantic routes and sometimes US transcontinental and South American routes by Delta.

Safety & Events

767-300ERs have a long, safe service record, though the model is now gradually being retired from many fleets in favor of newer, more fuel-efficient types.

Future Outlook

Gradual retirement expected in coming years, with some being converted to freighters or replaced by Airbus A330 and A350, and Boeing 787.
