Boeing 767-400

Twin Jet· 37 globally registered

The Boeing 767-400ER holds the distinction of being the largest and final passenger variant of the 767 family, stretching the fuselage 21 feet beyond the 767-300 to accommodate up to 375 passengers in high-density configuration. Launched in 1997 with Delta Air Lines as the launch customer, the -400ER was Boeing's answer to the Airbus A330-200, offering transcontinental and transatlantic range with improved fuel efficiency through raked wingtips that added 14 feet of span. Only 37 aircraft were ever built between 1999 and 2009, making it one of the rarest widebody jets in commercial service and the only 767 variant never ordered by a non-U.S. carrier during its production run. Powered by either Pratt & Whitney PW4062 or General Electric CF6-80C2 engines, the 767-400ER can cruise at Mach 0.80 with a maximum range of 5,625 nautical miles at typical passenger loads. Its operating envelope includes a service ceiling of 43,100 feet and a maximum operating speed of 365 knots IAS or Mach 0.86, whichever is lower. The type's approach speed of approximately 148 knots and maximum takeoff weight of 450,000 pounds place it firmly in ICAO's Heavy wake turbulence category, requiring appropriate separation from following aircraft. Delta Air Lines remains the dominant operator of the type, having taken delivery of 21 frames and maintaining the largest active fleet. United Airlines operated 16 aircraft but retired its last 767-400ER in 2021, leaving Delta as the primary keeper of the variant's legacy. The type's rarity and Delta's commitment to the platform have made it a distinctive sight on premium transcontinental routes and select international services. SkyMeter has tracked 465 flights across 33 airframes and 3 operators, with DELTA AIR LINES INC the largest observed operator.
