<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">Mulally said that customers also are very pleased with the performance of the new 767-400 airplane, and do not require additional range.

"Therefore," he said, "we are slowing development on the Longer-Range 767-400ER, a proposed re-engined version of the 767-400. The highly capable 767 family will continue to serve the airlines very well."

From the Boeing web site

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">On March 29, Boeing Commercial Airplanes announced that airline customers have indicated that, with continued improvements, the 747-400 family will satisfy the majority of their large airplane needs. Development of the Longer Range 747-400 will continue; the first airplane will be delivered to QANTAS in November 2002. Boeing is also studying additional improvements to the 747-400, and will protect its ability to develop a larger (747X) if and when customers indicate a need.</font>
