Status

In service

The Boeing 767-400ER is the largest and longest variant of the 767 family, featuring a stretched fuselage compared to the 767-300ER. It was developed primarily at the request of Delta Air Lines and Continental Airlines, offering increased passenger capacity and range over its predecessors. The -400ER introduced a new raked wingtip design and a redesigned interior, and shares some commonality with the 777 flight deck. It entered service in 2000 and has seen limited operator uptake compared to other 767 variants, with only two airlines placing original orders. Despite its modest commercial success, the 767-400ER remains in service with Delta Air Lines on domestic and international routes. The aircraft bridges the gap between the 767-300ER and the larger widebody aircraft such as the 777.
