Why Boeing Is Still Producing The 767 Freighter More Than A Decade After The Passenger Variant Received Its Last Commercial Order

Passenger airlines are all about the latest and greatest in technology, whereas cargo operators are far more for tried-and-tested aircraft. One of the most popular and long-standing of these older platforms is the Boeing 767, a twin-engine aluminum workhorse whose engineering was locked in during the late 1970s. The commercial passenger variant of the 767 met its end more than ten years ago when the final airline order was logged, transitioning transoceanic passenger travel to the carbon fiber Boeing 787.
