The Boeing 767's Final Revenue Trick Is Happening On 4-Hour Domestic Hops

The Boeing 767 is increasingly being asked to do something it was not originally expected to do at the end of its passenger career: spend its final years flying short, high-demand sectors where its size matters more than its long-range capability. Delta Air Lines has used the Boeing 767-400ER on domestic routes such as Atlanta (ATL) to Las Vegas (LAS) and New York JFK to San Diego (SAN), while Icelandair has scheduled Boeing 767-300ER aircraft on European sectors including Reykjavík (KEF) to Stockholm (ARN). These deployments are less about nostalgia than about extracting useful revenue from aircraft that still have substantial cabin capacity.
