Airbus A300-600 versus Boeing 767-300ER
364,000 lbs MTOW 412,000 lbs
4,158 nm range 6,102 nm
That's for the pax. 767-300ER. The freighter only goes 3225 nm with a normal density full load of freight and slightly less than that for the 767-300BCF based on an ER. They would be great replacements for either/both the MD-10's and the A300-600.
