Boeing 767-300ER

763 B763 Out of Production

An extended-range stretch of the Boeing 767, the 767-300ER became the most popular member of the family and a transatlantic mainstay for decades. It seats about 218 passengers in two classes and up to 351 single-class, with two GE CF6-80C2B6F turbofans supporting a range near 11,070 km at 851 km/h. First flown in 1988, the aircraft measures 54.9 metres long with a 47.6-metre wingspan and a maximum takeoff weight of 186,880 kg. Its 2-3-2 economy layout, which leaves no more than one middle seat per row, earned lasting passenger favour on long-haul routes and kept the type in wide service well beyond its contemporaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Boeing 767-300ER typically seats 218 passengers in a standard two-class configuration with business and economy cabins. In a three-class layout with first, business, and economy, it carries around 200 passengers. The cabin is 4.72 m wide with a 2-3-2 seating arrangement in economy, meaning most passengers have easy aisle access.

The Boeing 767-300ER has a maximum range of approximately 11,065 km (5,975 nautical miles), making it one of the most versatile wide-body aircraft for medium-to-long-haul routes. The ER (Extended Range) variant added additional fuel capacity and higher maximum takeoff weight compared to the standard 767-300. Typical routes include New York to London, Chicago to Tokyo, and Atlanta to Amsterdam.

The 767-300ER's 2-3-2 economy layout is considered passenger-friendly because no seat is more than one position from the aisle, unlike wide-bodies with 3-3-3 or 3-4-3 configurations. Many airlines have reconfigured their 767-300ERs with lie-flat business class seats for premium transatlantic service. Delta Air Lines and United Airlines have invested heavily in 767 cabin refreshes, offering a competitive long-haul product on a mid-size aircraft.

Despite its age, the 767-300ER remains in active service with several major airlines. Delta Air Lines operates the largest passenger 767-300ER fleet with over 50 aircraft, primarily on transatlantic and transcontinental routes. United Airlines, All Nippon Airways, and Japan Airlines also maintain 767-300ER fleets. The type is also enormously popular as a cargo aircraft, with FedEx and UPS operating large converted freighter fleets.

The A330-300 is a larger and newer aircraft, carrying about 277 passengers versus the 767-300ER's 218 in typical layouts. The A330-300 has a wider cabin (5.28 m vs 4.72 m) and longer range. However, the 767-300ER has lower operating costs on thinner routes where filling an A330-300 would be difficult. The 767 also benefits from ETOPS-180 certification that enabled it to pioneer twin-engine transatlantic and transpacific operations.
