February 13, 201115 yr I was thinking the other day if the 767 had been withdrawn from production yet. According to Boeing's web site the 767 is still in production!Does anyone know of airlines flying it with inflight entertainment systems like the 777 and A330?I wonder where they think they have the market in the 767 since the Airbus 330 has massively taken it. Any ideas?http://www.boeing.com/commercial/767family/index.htmlDaniel

If Boeing loses it, (and it looks like they might) I think it's days are then numbered. It will probably hold on until the 787 finally gets into production, but not much longer than that.

February 14, 201115 yr Does anyone know of airlines flying it with inflight entertainment systems like the 777 and A330?Hi Daniel,Inflight Entertainment Systems are not really related to the aircraft. Airlines will outfit their aircrafts with whatever cabin options they choose.For example....Air Canada has the same inflight system on there 767, 777 and A330. The aircraft doesn't really matter.Air Canada 767's didn't originally have an inflight system but was later added to the fleet.The worst example of an inflight upgrade would be Swiss Air Flight 111. That was an MD-11 aircraft that was later upgraded with an inflight system installed by Swissair, the system arced and caught fire to the aircraft insulation while flying over the Nova Scotia coastline.

I saw the episode on Air Crash Investigations (Mayday) on that one.Qantas has 767s but they don't have the inflight entertainment like the A330s on Cathay and Singapore does. Even checking the latest photos on A...net they are still the same. I think Qantas doesn't want to touch them because they are primarily used on domestic services.The 767 is a fine aircraft, BUT, the Airbus has the market edge and I think the wider interior actually works. Hope the 787 is good. Did you hear about the fire on board in flight on the 787 recently?DanielI think the main reason the 767 is still in production was pending the final decision on the tanker project. If Boeing loses it, (and it looks like they might) I think it's days are then numbered. It will probably hold on until the 787 finally gets into production, but not much longer than that.Thanks Tom for reminding me. I guess that is the only reason. According to Boeing the 767 uses less fuel per passenger, I think, than the Airbus competitor, the A330. The 787 is a direct replacement for the 767 I guess, with the 777 projected to be in production for at least another 20 years or so. The T7 looks like it is starting to take off now at the expense of the 744.I wonder if the 772 is able to compete economically with an A330-300?Daniel
