Boeing 767-300
65,807 parts applicable to this airframe — widebody
Utilization & cargo trend(US carriers, 2015–2025)
767 family rollup — BTS T-100, domestic + international
US carriers only (BTS T-100, domestic + international segments) — foreign-carrier flying is excluded, so global utilization runs higher. Fleet size is reconstructed from the FAA registry (built on or before each year, not yet deregistered) — an approximation. Freighter share counts departures with zero passengers and freight aboard — a proxy for freighter/combi operations, not a tail-by-tail conversion count. Missing years render as gaps.
USM supply — retirements & teardowns(2023–2026)
767 family — FAA registry deregistrations
FAA registry data. Domestic deregistration is a teardown proxy — it also captures re-registrations and some unflagged exports, so it is not a confirmed part-out count; exported aircraft left the US fleet intact and are not USM supply. ATA shares reflect where this directory's parts for the family concentrate (parts in parentheses) — a coverage signal, not the aircraft's bill of materials or a teardown-yield forecast.
Engine-program supply pressure(since 2023)
FAA registry — US-registered fleet
Engines account for roughly half of all MRO spend, so engine programs shedding aircraft are where retirement supply carries the most value.
| Engine model | Active tails | Engine units | Retired since ’23 | Exported | Avg age at dereg |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GE CF6-6 | 9 | 21 | 31 | 0 | 48 yr |
| P&W PW4000 series | 149 | 329 | 23 | 2 | 30 yr |
| GE CF6-80 series | 237 | 571 | 13 | 2 | 36.9 yr |
| P & W JT9D series | 13 | 37 | 3 | 0 | 41.7 yr |
| GE CF6-80A | 9 | 18 | 3 | 3 | 39 yr |
| GE CF6-80C2B6 | 25 | 50 | 2 | 2 | 31.7 yr |
| GE CF6-80A2 | 5 | 10 | 2 | 2 | 42 yr |
| GE CF6-80C2B6F | 254 | 508 | 1 | 4 | 29 yr |
FAA registry data, US-registered aircraft only. Counts reflect the engine model as registered — generic “series” rows coexist with thrust-variant rows, so per-variant figures are partial. Retired = domestic deregistrations (a teardown proxy, not a confirmed part-out); exported aircraft left the US fleet intact. Active tails span every family the engine flies on, not just this one.
Maintenance economics(US carriers, through 2026)
767 family — BTS Form 41 filings
BTS Form 41 data (Schedule P-5.2 maintenance expense over T-2 block hours), Group III US carriers only — filers above $1B annual revenue; smaller US operators, Part 135, and all non-US carriers are not in this data. Dollars are accrual-basis from regulatory filings (reserves and depreciation included), so they benchmark fleet economics and do not track to individual repair events. Averages are block-hour- weighted across every reporting carrier; the range spans per-carrier rates after excluding marginal reporting slices, and small carrier counts are noisy.
Airworthiness Directive activity
FAA / EASA public regulatory data
- FAA AD 2026-13-16effective Jul 1, 2026Prohibition
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 757 airplanes and Model 767 airplanes. This AD was prompted by the determination that radio altimeters cannot be relied upon to perform their intended function if they experience interference from wireless broadband operations in the 3.7-3.98 GHz frequency band (5G Lower C-Band) while operating in Canadian airspace, and a determination that, during approach, landings, and go-arounds, as a result of this interference, certain airplane systems may not properly function, resulting in increased flightcrew workload while on approach with the flight director, autothrottle, or autopilot engaged, which could result in reduced ability of the flightcrew to maintain safe flight and landing of the airplane. This AD requires revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to incorporate limitations prohibiting certain operations requiring radio altimeter data when operating in Canadian airspace. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
- FAA AD 2026-05-07effective Apr 16, 2026Mixed actions
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 767-200, -300, -300F, and -400ER series airplanes. This AD was prompted by discovery of a crack at one of the forward lower fastener holes following replacement of a cracked underwing longeron (UWL) fitting. This AD requires performing an open hole high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspection for cracks of the fastener holes common to the UWL fitting, upper drag splice angle, and lower drag splice angle, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
- FAA AD 2026-05-03effective Apr 16, 2026Mixed actions
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 767-200 and 767-300 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of scribe lines found at skin lap joints and butt joints, around external repairs and antennas, and at locations where external decals had been cut. For some airplanes, this AD requires a detailed inspection for scribe lines and applicable related investigative and corrective actions. For other airplanes, this AD requires repetitive nondestructive testing inspections for cracking at certain stringers of the skin lap joint fuselage skin and applicable corrective actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
- FAA AD 2026-04-10effective Apr 10, 2026Mixed actions
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 767-200, 767-300, 767-300F, and 767- 400ER airplanes. This AD was prompted by a heavy maintenance check that found corrosion damage on a Model 767 satellite communications (SATCOM) high gain antenna adapter plate. This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections (DET) of the SATCOM high gain antenna adapter plate for corrosion and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
- FAA AD 2025-15-08effective Aug 21, 2025Mixed actions
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-01- 06, which applied to all The Boeing Company Model 767-200, -300, -300F, and -400ER series airplanes. AD 2025-01-06 required identifying the part number, and the serial number if applicable, of the Captain's and First Officer's seats and applicable on-condition actions for affected seats. AD 2025-01-06 also required a one-time detailed inspection and repetitive checks of the horizontal movement system (HMS) of the Captain's and First Officer's seats and applicable on-condition actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-01-06, the FAA determined that AD 2025-01-06 contains an error when providing conditions for taking credit using a previous revision of the service information. This AD requires the actions of AD 2025-01-06 and revises paragraph (j) of this AD to clarify which actions are not required. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Directives linked to this airframe family in the FAA / EASA regulatory corpus we have processed — not a complete historical AD list. An AD is a compliance requirement that drives scheduled work (inspections, replacements, modifications) across the fleet; inspection directives are not replacement directives, and none of this is a prediction that any part will fail.
