United eyeing 767 replacement in fleet review
United Airlines is evaluating options for a replacement of its Boeing 767 fleet, as part of its on-going widebody fleet review.

They also have 12 B773ER's coming in to replace the B747 so it's still possible some of the remaining B787-9 could replace the B767...or they do as they thought and refurb some of the B767-4 and hold onto them.
Also to add to the consideration is the fact that the only replacement options are at least 13m/40 ft winder. This will cause issues if airport parking positions are designed and spaced around the 767 compared to to full size code E positions.
Perhaps some price incentives to buy "US"' - if Boeing got most of the orders that US airlines purchase, then Boeing would be able to employ most of America ??? - Get "the Donald" on to this one.
I think Mr. Trumpp might have some comments about buying from Airbus.
Why would he when Airbus have a massive investment in a plant in the US? It is providing thousands of jobs for Americans building A320 family aircraft.
Agreed. Airbus has a plant in Alabama and is contemplating a second plant in Wichita.
Perhaps they shouldn't have dropped the orders for the B787 that COA had prior to merger.
