United’s Least Used Aircraft: The Boeing 767-400ER

The Boeing 767-400ER is United Airlines’ least used aircraft this year after a handful of planes came out of long-term storage in time for the summer season. This move was partially due to the grounding of some Boeing 777-200s. On United’s list of least used aircraft, the 767-400ER comes out on top, but is followed by the 737 MAX 8, 787-8, CRJ-700, and 787-10. Let’s take a look at where the 767-400ER is flying these days.

"pleasant 2-3-2 layout" hits the nail on the head. 4 out of 7 seats are on an aisle, and the other 3 seats only have to scoot past one seat to reach an aisle. I wish this layout were more common: it makes long flights so much more pleasant.

The 2-3-2 seating arrangement of the 767 has always been my favorite, especially flying to overseas destinations.

We had a UA 764 charter for the Chiefs a couple months ago. I enjoy seeing the 764s flying in the skies.

I flew on two these in 2018 from EWR-CDG and MUC-IAD. I thought it was a great aircraft, United does a good job keeping the interior modern in these aircrafts.

It's my favorite 767 type and yes I flew on it from Amdsterdam to Houston and back in October 2010.

I flew on Continental 767-400ER from IAH to LAX back in 2003. To date the best and the smoothest aircraft I ever been on.

Error at 0:45. Reads "Average age 2 years". The 767-400ERs were delivered to Continental between 2000 and 2002 (4 in 2000, 2 in 2001, 10 in 2002).

As a retired Ua/Co flight attendant this is one of my favorite in the fleet! Spacious galleys and very easy to work! excellent video by the way!

[NorcalValleyRailfan]

Fun Fact: Only 2 airlines used the 767-400’s, which are United (Continental) using 16 and Delta using 21

[rayp]

The low usage is related to all of the international flight restrictions. With those easing up now, you can expect the 400 to resume many international markets primarily out of EWR and IAD

my absolute favorite commute from ewr to Copenhagen via wherever. Loved that single seat middle row !

[tobiasglaess]

Have flown on a UA 764 on it's MUC-EWR operations back in 2019....and to be honest I did like the experience of flying on an ex Continental aircraft, even though next time I would probably choose the 787 again for outbound UA flights out of Munich heading towards the United States because of better quality products on board as well as a smoother flight itself.

When you have decent seating capacity and nice range, but are overshadowed by 777s and 737s: *DJ Khaled: Suffering from Success*

I had the pleasure of flying this aircraft from EWR to BCN, barely two weeks ago on a two stop journey from YVR via SFO. While the Polaris product on the 763 and 788 was better the food on all the flights was amazing. I will say I can say nothing but on the topic of thr 764 flight.

[kuxica]

What was the reason behind CO buying the 764-ER? That would be even more interesting to look at.

[aviation_lover]

These birds are slated to be upgraded with the new Polaris product soon and to be painted as well. I had the pleasure of working this plane during 2019 at ORD and sad to say it's age really shows on the inside.

Just flew this from London to Dulles beginning of a November. Was a great flight and comfortable.

[cynthiabergstrom]

you forgot a flight the 767-400 flight from boston to london

[kevinyang]

My ride on this planet was a confusing one. We were supposed to fly a Dreamliner, but suddenly, the plane was swapped for a 767-400ER. Wasn't a bad plane.

I'd like to see exactly what classes are fully booked, which is driving travel these days?
Will business travel every fully recover?
