The Boeing 767-400ER is the longest variant of the 767 family, featuring a stretched fuselage compared to the 767-300ER and incorporating winglets derived from the 777 program. It was developed primarily in response to a requirement from Delta Air Lines and Continental Airlines for a high-capacity, long-range twin-engine widebody. The aircraft introduced several technology upgrades including a revised flight deck with larger displays and a digital fly-by-wire spoiler system. Its extended range capability allows it to operate transatlantic and other long-haul routes efficiently with two engines under ETOPS authorization. The 767-400ER saw limited commercial success compared to earlier 767 variants, with only a small number of orders placed. It has largely been overshadowed by newer widebody aircraft such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, though existing operators continue to fly the type.

Notable operators

Delta Air Lines and United Airlines (formerly Continental Airlines) are the primary operators of the 767-400ER.
