Boeing unlikely to resume passenger 767 production
Boeing is unlikely to resume production of the passenger version of the 767-300ER, even as airlines look to meet fleet needs until the possible New Mid-market Aircraft comes on the market in the next decade. "Bringing back the 767 passenger airplane – I just don't see it," says Randy Tinseth, VP of marketing at Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The airframer continues to build military and freighter versions of the 767, and executives have said as recently as Nov 2017 that resuming production of the passenger variant was an option. Reports last fall suggested that Boeing could resume production of the passenger 767-300ER to act as a bridge until the NMA debuts in the 2024 to 2025 timeframe. United Airlines was understood to have expressed interest. <br/>
