The Boeing 767-300 is a twin-engine, twin-aisle long-haul aircraft, smaller than many newer wide-body jets. Boeing lists 261 seats in two classes and up to 290 in a single-class layout for the 767-300ER. Some aircraft have exclusive VIP interiors with fewer than 100 seats, designed for premium group travel.
Chartering a 767-300 can serve two distinct needs: transporting a large group over medium or long distances, or providing a premium cabin for fewer travellers. Its size sits between the Airbus A321 and larger wide-body aircraft such as the A330.
At Artheau Aviation, we arrange Boeing 767 charters for luxury journeys, corporate events, multi-stop tours and sports teams. We identify suitable aircraft, assess operators and oversee the flight arrangements.

767-300ER, according to Boeing
A Boeing 767-300 charter is priced for the entire aircraft, not per occupied seat. Flight duration, positioning, airport fees and ground handling all affect the quotation. For multi-stop journeys, the number of stops and days on the ground also matters. A rare VIP configuration has a different cost profile from a standard passenger aircraft.
We compare the 767-300 with available alternatives such as the Airbus A330 and Boeing 787-8, taking group size and required cabin comfort into account.
Each proposal follows a consultation with multiple operators. We specify the services included and explain the factors that may change the quotation before you confirm.
The Boeing 767-300 offers the comfort of a twin-aisle wide-body cabin in a relatively compact aircraft, making it suitable for varied group missions.
A large group on one flight in Boeing’s reference two-class layout.
Selected aircraft offer fewer than 100 seats, lie-flat accommodation and premium service.
More efficient boarding and onboard service than many single-aisle layouts.
Around 114 m³ for the 767-300ER, according to Boeing, for luggage and equipment.
Its limitations: the 767-300 is an older aircraft, with fewer passenger examples in active service. For especially long nonstop routes, a Boeing 787-8 or Airbus A330 may be preferable.
The Boeing 767-300’s range depends considerably on its version, take-off weight and cabin layout. The VIP 767 chartered for our round-the-world trip was quoted at approximately 6,030 km of range and 12 hours of endurance by its operator. We confirm every leg against payload, winds and diversion requirements.
From Paris Charles de Gaulle, this indicative range covers Montreal (approximately 5,520 km), New York (5,830 km) or Cairo (3,210 km) nonstop. Longer routes may require technical stops, which we factor into the itinerary.

According to Boeing, the 767-300ER seats 261 passengers in two classes and up to 290 in a single-class layout. VIP conversions generally carry fewer than 100 passengers. The aircraft used for our round-the-world trip, for example, offered 96 fully reclining seats, according to its operator.
The twin-aisle economy cabin generally has seven seats per row. We confirm the exact configuration and seating plan with each proposal.
Boeing quotes approximately 114 m³ of hold space for the 767-300ER. This accommodates luggage for longer journeys, subject to payload limits. On multi-stop tours, we also check baggage handling arrangements at each airport.
| Charter mission | 767-300 suitability | Our assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Premium multi-stop tour or round-the-world trip | Highly suitable | A VIP layout accommodates a smaller group in a premium cabin across multiple sectors. |
| Corporate event or incentive trip | Suitable | Up to 261 travellers in a standard configuration on medium- or long-haul routes. |
| Sports team travel | Suitable | Twin-aisle cabin and generous hold space for the team and its equipment. |
| Very long nonstop flight | Requires assessment | A 787-8 or A330 may avoid a technical stop. |

A specialist travel organiser offered its clients a month-long journey around the world aboard a private aircraft. The agency managed ticketing and ground arrangements; we coordinated all flights aboard a VIP Boeing 767 for approximately 90 travellers.
The itinerary started and ended in Paris, with approximately ten stops over one month. It travelled through Canada, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, French Polynesia, Australia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Uzbekistan and Oman, in that order.
The premium positioning required a comfortable aircraft for a relatively small group across numerous flights.
We selected a VIP-configured Boeing 767 with approximately 90 seats that converted into beds. The same aircraft operated throughout the journey.
Passengers therefore enjoyed a familiar aircraft, crew and standard of service at every stage.
Every stop required overflight and landing permissions, airport slots, ground handling and refuelling. We coordinated these requirements with the operator and relevant airports.
For the longest sectors, we planned technical stops to remain within the aircraft’s operational range and respect crew duty limits.
Throughout the month, we adjusted the flight programme with the agency, which remained responsible for visits and accommodation.
An Artheau Aviation team member travelled with the group to monitor the programme and coordinate on-site changes with the crew and airports. The agency focused on the journey while we handled the aviation.
This mission demonstrates what a VIP wide-body charter can achieve: the same aircraft for an entire month, multiple destinations worldwide and a dedicated broker coordinating every flight.
Provide the itinerary, dates, passenger count and preferred comfort level (standard or VIP).
We consult operators, verify range for each sector, aircraft availability and airport slots, then present suitable options.
After confirmation, we coordinate operators, airports, permissions and passenger lists. Your contact remains available until the group returns.
We do more than find an available aircraft. From your first request to landing, our teams coordinate every stage of your charter.
Your dedicated broker remains your main point of contact throughout your journey, from the initial request to your arrival.
We compare aircraft and certified operators to recommend the solution best suited to your itinerary, requirements and budget.
Once your flight is confirmed, our Flight Preparation team coordinates the operational details required for a smooth journey.
The team oversees flight logistics, ground handling, catering, passenger requirements and other arrangements before departure.
Every flight is operated by a certified aircraft operator holding the licences and approvals required for the mission.
We review operators, aircraft and operational requirements to check that each proposed solution meets our safety and compliance standards.
The entire aircraft is quoted, with pricing based on flight duration, positioning, stops, ground time and whether the cabin is standard or VIP.
Boeing lists 261 seats in two classes and up to 290 in one class for the 767-300ER. VIP versions generally carry fewer than 100.
Yes, subject to availability. These aircraft are rare, so we search specialist operators, as we did for our month-long round-the-world journey.
Yes, with stops. We coordinated a month-long VIP 767 itinerary with numerous destinations, adapting each sector to the aircraft’s range.
The 787-8 is newer and generally offers greater range. A VIP 767-300 remains attractive for premium tours or when availability favours it.
Yes. The aircraft and crew can accompany the group throughout, while we plan crew rest periods and ground time at each stop.
As early as possible, particularly for VIP aircraft or multi-stop journeys requiring extensive authorisations.
From private jet charters to commercial group flights and dedicated cargo operations, we deliver tailored air solutions for every mission, anywhere in the world.
