   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.
