Why US Operators Have Kept Flying The Boeing 767 Longer Than Other Major Carriers

Рет қаралды 35,700

Ай бұрын

There are few major aviation markets today in which the Boeing 767 remains a mainstay of commercial passenger operations, with the majority of operators across the globe retiring the jet years ago. However, there are a few noteworthy exceptions, primarily in the United States. When flying any route across the Atlantic or from the US to South America on Delta or United, you are more than likely to find yourself onboard a 767 than if you were flying on a non-US carrier. So why is this?

You can't beat the 2-3-2 seating arrangement of the 767.

Unlike their current reputation with modern planes, I think older Boeings have become workhorses. That's why I think they're hanging on to them.

The other reason Delta still flies the 767 is that they own them. The longer they are able to fly, the more value they get out of them

The only 2 reasons to why B787-8 is more efficient is the fact that they could carry more passengers on longer flights. On medium haul operations, fuel burn are quite comparable since B767-300ER and B767-400ER doesn't have the heavy wings/wingbox that B787-8 have. The shorter the range is, the more efficient B767 became compared to B787-8.

Reliability, the airframe was built and engineered before the Boeing and MD merger, so you know it was built with safety and quality than shareholder value cutting corners. I'm surprised carriers are buying new builds coming off the KC-46 line, I heard UPS and FEDEX have orders on that line.

FAA recently mandated the end of passenger Boeing 767 production due to them not meeting modern environmental standards. Last production is scheduled for 2027 or 2028. Something similar will also happen to new build 767 freight aircraft.

All Boeing designed airplanes have been commercial successes (B717 was basically the MD-95 which Boeing inherited in 1997). Not so with Airbus, i.e. A340 & A380 were not.

The 787 has been plagued with multiple problems and the FAA has at times grounded them, Boeing today isn’t the company the created great engineered jets of the past. The McDonnell way of building crushed Douglas and is now the problem at Boeing. To many bean counters trying to save money left and right which is the problem with all of the 737 MAX series, 777x and 787. Airbus is the best manufacturer and engineered commercial aircraft manufacturer in the world.
