Rather than plunge into the development of two new clean sheet designs, it now seems like Boeing is going to spend a few years concentrating on the tried and true. Numerous industry publications are reporting that production of the 767-300 will be ramped up in response to airlines that need a 250- to 350-seat airliner that doesn't need the range or come with the price tag of the 787 Dreamliner. A 767 is about half the price of a $275 million 787. It's also the second-oldest design still in production by Boeing (the 737 is the oldest) and entered service in 1982.
