United has retrofitted most of its Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, some of which are nearing 30 years old, with improved business and economy seats.
The clause acts to perpetuate United having a Boeing-skewed fleet. [7] On September 22, 2012, United became the first American airline to take delivery of the Boeing 787 aircraft. [8] United is also the North American launch customer for the Boeing 787-9 [9] and 787-10 aircraft, [10] which are stretched versions of the base 787-8 model ...
The 767-300 and 767-300ER gained popularity after entering service, and came to account for approximately two-thirds of all 767s sold. [42] Until the 777's 1995 debut, the 767-300 and 767-300ER remained Boeing's second-largest wide-bodies behind the 747. [43] A JAL 767-300 lands in front of an ANA 767-300ER at Kansai Airport. The -300 and ...
In aviation circles, a more specific model designation is sometimes used where the last two digits of the series designator are replaced by the two-digit, alpha-numeric Boeing customer code, for example, 747-121, representing a 747-100 originally ordered by Pan American World Airways (Boeing customer code 21) or 737-7H4, representing a 737-700 ...
During the late 1990s, Boeing considered replacement aircraft programs due to slowing sales of the 767 and 747-400.Two new aircraft were proposed. The 747X would have lengthened the 747-400 and improved efficiency, and the Sonic Cruiser would have achieved 15% higher speeds (approximately Mach 0.98) while burning fuel at the same rate as the 767. [2]
The following is a list of current commercial operators of the Boeing 767, and any of its variants. As of 2020, there were 764 Boeing 767 aircraft in service, comprising 68 767-200s, 657 767-300s and 37 767-400ERs, [ 1 ] as listed by variant in the following table.
That aircraft, being designed under Yellowstone as the replacement for the 757/767, was later announced as the 7E7, with "E" standing for "Efficient". [ 20 ] [ 21 ] As a baseline reference model using advanced materials, the proposed 7E7 would consume 10% less fuel than the Sonic Cruiser, and 17–20% less than the 767-300.
In 1982, United was the launch carrier for the Boeing 767-200, receiving its first 767-200s on August 19. The launch order for 30 airplanes in 1978, together with an order for 30 727-200s, totaled $1.2 billion, and was the largest commercial airplane order up to that time, eclipsing Pan Am's launch order for the 747.
