Boeing 767 Freighter
Also known as 767-300F, 767-300ERF
- Cause of death
- Killed by regulation
- Made by
- Boeing
New emissions and noise standards taking effect for aircraft produced from 2028 close the 767 Freighter's production window at the end of 2027.
The 767 has been flying since 1982, and its dedicated freighter arrived in October 1995, which means it outlasted the launch of its own replacement by more than a decade. New ICAO emissions and noise rules bite in 2028, so in October 2024 Boeing said it will build out its remaining 29 freighter orders and close the Everett line in 2027. Congress had already written the aircraft a domestic exemption running to 2033. Boeing is ending it anyway.
