Manufacturer: The Boeing Company
Role: Medium Wide-body Freighter
Overview
The Boeing 767 is one of the most widely used wide-body freighters in the world, prized for its versatility, payload capacity, and compatibility with medium- to long-haul routes. Originally introduced as a passenger aircraft in the early 1980s, the 767 was soon adapted into freighter configurations to meet growing cargo demand. Today, both factory-built and converted freighter variants are in service with major carriers like FedEx, UPS, DHL, and Amazon Air as of 2025. Boeing plans to cease production of the 767-300F in 2027 due to environmental regulatory compliance, without replacement.
The most common freighter model is the 767-300F, a factory-produced cargo aircraft based on the extended fuselage -300 variant. Boeing also offers the 767-300BCF (Boeing Converted Freighter), a passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion program that extends the platform’s lifespan and offers cost-effective entry for operators. Versions based on the 767-200 exist as well as the 767-200F and 767-200SF, though less common.
