767-400ER - Another extended long-range variant, ordered by Delta Air Lines in 1997. It is the only 767 model to feature "raked" wingtips, which increase fuel efficiency. The first production 767-400ER was delivered in 2000.
E-767 - AWACS platform used by the military of Japan.
KC-767 - Aerial refueling platform currently used by the Italian Air Force and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.
