Does anyone know why wasn't the 767-400ER popular? since only two companies have it, and they seem to be quite pleased with it. Personally I love this plane, it is as soothing as a 777-200ER but in a smaller size which makes it more comfy!!
The 764ER was initially intended to be a somewhat custom order for which Delta, Continental, and American (who never ordered) would replace their trijets.
Another model, the 764ERX was to also debut... featuring modified wings, increased fuel capacity, and stronger CF6 engines (which it would have shared with the similarly defunct 747X).
THe 764ERX was cancelled the same month that the 747X went the way of all flesh, and its only three customers (KQ, ILFC, and GECAS) either converted the order to 777s (the former) or cancelled them outright (the latter two).
As a result, that left only the 764ER... which has lost every battle it's ever faced against the A332 (excepting of course, DL & CO) due to its inability to carry LD3s in tandem, as well as its relatively short range.
And well, can the 767-300ER carry LD-3's?
Aren't there any performance problems with the 764ER
All 767 cannot carry LD3s. But then there were no real competitors for 767-200/-300 when it came out. A310 can only fly 9000km, which is 25% less than that of 767-200. Besides, airlines are still not confident in Airbus at that time.
OK!! Now I get it.
So I guess 764ER should be intended to fly high density domestic routes, just like the ones UA flyes with the 772ER. But I guess MX could get them for International routes since they don't need palets and stuff
Thanks alot

Hope to see a MX 764ER flying with London writing on its tale!!
