Just a cheaper and not a too unefficient aircraft, I was wondering about the MD-11 but MD's fuel efficiency isnt the best or atleast it isnt known for being the best

P.S I  dont have a 767 currently but I had one, when I figured out the costs to the profit the aircraft made, I was making 40% less money if I had it, So I sold it

Your best bet is an A330-200 or a 787. MD-11 could work as a 767-400 replacement, but it's fuel flow isn't the best thing in the world.

It would help to know which variant of the 767 you're talking about...

 

B767-200/-200ER: There's really no true replacement for it(as far as I can tell). The A350-800 and B787-8 are the closest to it's seating capacity. The B757-300 is another option(for the standard 762).

B767-300/-300ER: Unlike the -200 this is obviously being replaced by the A350-800 and B787-8.

B767-400ER: A350-900, B787-9 and/or the A330-200.

What Im looking for is a 767-ish that isnt that costly in maintanance and its fuel efficiency isnt that bad

787, A330, or even 757

767s are great, but like any series in the game you need to spread the initial maintenance cost over a group of planes. Operating just 1 is going to cost a lot. operation 10 costs less.

 

Base cost $8,836,154 plus the individual plane cost (about $500k for new plane) - individual cost $9.3 million

Make it a fleet of ten and $8.8 mil + $5 mil (10 planes) and each individual cost goes to about $1.4 million - better profits

 

This is why you see airlines with multiples of a single fleet type. It doesn't pay to just fly one plane of a type.

There is no direct replacement.

A306R or 753 for lower capacity regional routes.
A343 or 787-8 for higher capacity, long haul routes.

True.

Yes.

The 767 really has no good replacement. I tend to use the 787 family when I replace my 767s but that's just me (787-8 for 767-200s, 787-9 for 767-300, 787-10 for 767-400). Of course, you could always just order new 767-300s and 400s to replace your older 767s as it's still in production currently. The 767-200ER's best replacement, like I said, is the 787-8 in my opinion. Of course, if you like and prefer Airbus, perhaps the A350 would be something you would look at, particularly the A350-800. However, I found no significant difference between the 4 subtypes of the A350 so I tend to just order the A350-900 as it is available sooner and thenn use different configs to replace different aircraft, but that's just me.

Maybe 787, maybe large A330, maybe 757-300.
