With the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) adopting its proposed fuel
efficiency rules for certain subsonic jet aircraft with a maximum takeoff
weight (MTOW) of more than 5,700 kilograms (12,566 pounds), this could spell
the end for the production of the Boeing 767F freighter. The new standards
will also apply to propeller-driven aircraft with an MTOW greater than 8,618
kg (18,999 lbs).
 
The FAA’s final rule was published on February 16, 2024, with an effective
date of April 16. According to the directive, the new fuel efficiency
standards would apply to aircraft that received their original type
certification (TC) on or after January 1, 2021, were manufactured after
January 1, 2028, or were certified before 2021, but a modification was made
that would affect the aircraft’s emissions after January 1, 2023.
 
On June 15, 2022, the regulator published the notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM), receiving 62 comments on the proposal from various parties, including
Airbus, Boeing, ATR, Embraer, Gulfstream, General Electric (GE), as well as
airlines’ representatives.
 
Providing background on the ruling, the FAA said that the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) and its International Aviation and Climate  
Change (GIACC) developed a program to reduce aviation’s impact on the climate
in 2009. The Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP), part of
the ICAO, agreed to the new emissions standard in February 2016, with the ICAO
adopting the standard in March 2017.
