Insights

Aviation History

The Boeing 767-300ER is a classic long-haul widebody, pioneering ETOPS operations and remaining in heavy use for both passenger and cargo service.

Fleet Rarity

Hundreds are still in service worldwide; United is a major operator but is retiring many of its fleet through 2024.

Record Flights

Noted for frequent transatlantic and Hawaiian routes, as well as high-cycle US transcontinental service.

Safety & Events

Generally strong safety record; the type has had isolated non-fatal engine and system events but remains reliable. Famous for being the type involved in the 2001 \'Gimli Glider\' incident (not this particular frame or airline).

Future Outlook

Gradual retirement from passenger service in US mainline carriers; many converted to freighters.
