The Boeing 787 Dreamliner has emerged as the primary successor to the Boeing 767 in its passenger configuration. Despite this, a freighter variant of the 787 has not been developed, leaving a gap for a replacement for the Boeing 767 freighter. Airbus has introduced variants of the A330neo and A350 to provide alternatives for airlines looking to replace their Boeing 767s.

With the conclusion of Boeing 767 production as a passenger aircraft and the end of the 747 program, only the 737, 777, and 787 families remain available from Boeing as commercial passenger aircraft. The last passenger Boeing 767 was delivered to Air Astana in Kazakhstan in 2014.

The Boeing 767 continues production as a freighter and aerial tanker for military use by forces such as those of the United States, Japan, and Israel. However, as a previous-generation aircraft, it faces competition from more modern models like the Boeing 787 and Airbus A330neo.

The Dreamliner offers significant advancements over its predecessor with lightweight composite materials and efficient engines like GEnx and Rolls-Royce Trent 1000. Its range capabilities surpass those of the older model, allowing access to long-haul routes previously unavailable to the Boeing 767.

Airlines such as United Airlines are gradually replacing their fleets of Boeing 767s with various versions of the Dreamliner. Meanwhile, Delta is transitioning away from Boeing widebody aircraft entirely in favor of Airbus models like the A330-900s and A350-900s.

Boeing's new developments include working on introducing the Boeing 777-8 Freighter. This model aims to be highly capable and fuel-efficient, competing with upcoming models like Airbus's A350F.

JetZero is developing an innovative blended wing body aircraft called JetZero Z4. This model promises significant fuel savings compared to traditional designs but offers lower seating capacity and shorter range than some current options.

In summary, while no single aircraft has completely replaced all roles filled by the Boeing 767, multiple new models offer alternatives across different sectors within aviation.
