What's new

US Cut 2 widebody Boeing 767-201ERs?

Yes the cargo is, that is why there are more 767s going across the pond than 757s.

True, but the 762s will likely be grounded as the A330s are delivered - and the A330s can carry more passengers and a lot more cargo than a 762 and do it with better fuel economy, as I pointed out above.

Same thing at CO. Unless fuel prices drop dramatically, their (relatively new) 762s will be beverage cans shortly after their 787s arrive.
 
There are more 767s because that is what the plane was designed for, the 757s were not.

The 767s cargo add a ton of revenue to the flights, the 757 cant even touch that.

Lower-deck volume available for baggage and cargo ranges from 2,875 cubic feet (81.4 cu m) for the 767-200 to 4,580 cubic feet (129.7 cu m) for the 767-400ER.

Boeing has delivered 946 767s that are flown by approximately 125 operators around the world. The 767 family has accumulated more than 27 billion nautical miles on 7.7 million flights, and has carried two billion passengers. About 1.3 million of the 7.7 million flights were on extended operations (ETOPS) rules.

The 767 family has the lowest operating cost per trip of any widebody airplane. This low operating cost, combined with a choice of three sizes, variable range capability, almost universal airport compatibility and ETOPS capability, makes the 767 a versatile family of airplanes.

This versatility is an extreme competitive advantage to an operator that needs to serve a variety of different missions and passenger demands. Extensive commonality with the Boeing 757, which includes a common pilot-type rating, offers even more operational versatility to 767 operators.

And has over 140,000lbs more gtow than a 757.
