Hello All,
In this post, we will list the number of Boeing 757s and 767s in passenger service, as well as the airlines that operate them. Note that we exclude VIP, government, cargo, and combi aircraft. We will also compare those numbers to those of other older-generation aircraft in passenger service.
757
With production that ceased in 2005, the global 757 fleet is aging fast. The A321neo, especially the XLR variant, is more than a match in range and is far more fuel-efficient. However, it lags the 757-200 in takeoff performance.
As we see below, there is still a surprisingly large number of 757s in service:
| Operator | -200 | -300 | Total |
| Delta Air Lines | 100 | 16 | 116 |
| United Airlines | 53 | 21 | 74 |
| American Airlines | 34 | 0 | 34 |
| Icelandair | 23 | 2 | 25 |
| Condor | 0 | 15 | 15 |
| Jet2 | 10 | 0 | 10 |
| Tui Airways | 8 | 0 | 8 |
| Azur Air | 8 | 0 | 8 |
| Royal Flight | 5 | 0 | 5 |
| Uzbekistan Airways | 5 | 0 | 5 |
| Air Astana | 4 | 0 | 4 |
| Sunday Airlines | 4 | 0 | 4 |
| Turkmenistan Airlines | 3 | 0 | 3 |
| SCAT Airlines | 3 | 0 | 3 |
| Azerbaijan Airlines | 2 | 0 | 2 |
| Titan Airways | 2 | 0 | 2 |
| Privilege Style | 2 | 0 | 2 |
| TACV Cabo Verde Airlines | 2 | 0 | 2 |
| Aer Lingus | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Arkia | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Total | 269 | 55 | 324 |
And below is a regional breakdown:
| Region | Total | % Total |
| USA | 224 | 69% |
| Europe | 63 | 19% |
| CIS | 34 | 10% |
| Other | 3 | 1% |
| Total | 324 | 100% |
Unsurprisingly, US operations have the lion’s share of aircraft in service. Europe and the Community of Independent States represent the rest.
Note that we excluded from this list the 11 757-200s Delta operates in VIP configuration.
There are more 757s in passenger service than A380s, 747s, or A340s. Around one-third of all passenger-variant 757s are still in service.
767
There are even more 767s still in passenger service:
| Operator | Total | 767-200(ER)/300 | 767-300ER | 767-400ER |
| Delta Air Lines | 77 | 0 | 56 | 21 |
| United Airlines | 54 | 0 | 38 | 16 |
| Japan Airlines | 34 | 5 | 29 | 0 |
| LATAM Airlines Group | 30 | 0 | 30 | 0 |
| All Nippon Airways | 25 | 2 | 23 | 0 |

| Total | 407 | 30 | 340 | 37 |
And regional breakdown:
| Region | Total | % Total |
| USA | 171 | 42% |
| Asia | 73 | 18% |
| Americas Ex USA | 65 | 16% |
| Europe | 50 | 12% |
| CIS | 37 | 9% |
| Other | 11 | 3% |
| Total | 407 | 100% |
Unlike the 757, operators are far less concentrated in the USA. The two largest Japanese airlines, the Latam Group, and Air Canada still operate significant fleets. Like with the 757, Delta is the largest 767 operator.
In the USA, some of the 767s that the big three carriers are retiring find a second life at charter airline Omni Air, and start-up Eastern Airlines.
Unlike the 757, most 767s (the 767-400ER has around the same passenger capacity as the 787-8) do not have a close latest generation replacement available. As a result, expect those to operate around longer than the 757s. One should also note that Boeing delivered passenger 767s until 2014 due to 787 delivery delays.
The production line still delivers freighters and military variants. Around 42% of all passenger-variant 767s are still in service. With a total of 407, the 767 has more aircraft in passenger service than A380s and 747s combined.
