The 767-400 is the only wide body aircraft in the United fleet that does not feature the new Polaris seats. There were questions about whether or not United would keep these planes in its fleet, if they were to be retired. An update on that front has been reported by the person. New Polaris business class and Premium Plus premium economy seats will be included in the reconfiguration of all Boeing 757s by the summer of 2023.

How will United’s 767-400s be reconfigured?
Currently, United's 767-400s have a total of 240 seats.
There will be a total of 231 seats in United's 767-400s.
Nine total seats will be lost by United, representing a 4% capacity reduction. The airline will be losing five business class seats and 22 extra legroom economy seats, but will be gaining 24 premium economy seats, and have a much more competitive business class product.
The reconfiguration of United Airlines' fleet of 16 Boeing should be completed by the summer of 2023. New Polaris business class seats and Premium Plus premium economy seats will be installed by United. The Polaris retrofit project should be completed within a year or so.
It is good to see that the jets have more life left in them.
What do you think about United's plans?
