United expects first premium-heavy 767 in February

United Airlines expects to receive its first Boeing 767-300ER with an expanded business class cabin in February. The first aircraft in the configuration, which is dubbed the "76L" by the carrier, is due for completion in mid-February after an initial target date of Jan 18. Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company is handling the reconfiguration work. The 767-300ER will have 167 seats, split between 46 Polaris business-class seats, 22 premium-economy seats and 99 economy seats, a staffing guide sent to flight attendants this month shows. The number of Polaris seats has increased slightly since the configuration was first reported in April 2018. Currently, United configures its 767-300ERs with 214 seats, including only 30 in business class. <br/>
