757-200 . Fleet Total: 33 . Average Age 14.1
767-300ER . Fleet Total: 58 . Average Age 15.3
767-400ER . Fleet Total: 21 . Average Age 10.3
777-200 . Fleet Total: 8 . Average Age 11.5
777-200LR . Fleet Total: 10 . Average Age 2.3
A330-200 . Fleet Total: 11 . Average Age 6.3
A330-300 . Fleet Total: 12. Average Age 5.9
Total 169
The 13.464 is running all of the aircraft listed in the international fleet dates vs todays date. It's not an average of the numbers above.

I don't know if that changes the age much, so take it FWIW.
Yep you're right. Read A330-300 fleet total 21. Total A330s are 32. Total ocean crossing fleet 178.
The average age was a separate calculation and stays the same.
Now average age is probably not the best indication of what airplane falls off the cliff first at least within our fleet. Someone once mentioned we may have wasted cycles running these airplanes on domestic runs for years before GH turned them out over the ocean and that they could hit their cycle limits before their hour limits.
I really don't know if that is true or not.
