United Airlines has a Boeing 767-300ER variant that looks almost backwards by modern standards.
United's 767-300ER 'High J' variant has only 56 standard economy seats out of 167 total.
KEY POINTS
- United split its 767-300ER fleet into two sub-fleets: 24 premium-heavy and 14 standard layout aircraft.
- The High J 767s are used almost exclusively on transatlantic trunk routes from Newark and Chicago.
- United's premium-heavy strategy began before the pandemic, anticipating a surge in premium demand.
- United plans to expand premium seating across its fleet, including new 787-9s and A321XLRs.
