6 Boeing 747-200
2 Boeing 747-300
16 Boeing 747-400
9 Boeing 747-200F
4 Boeing 747-400ERF
25 Boeing 777-200
10 Boeing 777-300

In addition to their 30 747s, Lufthansa operates over 60 737s.

i doubt air canada will keep them 767's the bigger 330 is more cost effective plus last time i hear they had more airbus than boeing aircraft
They have to keep them in service because for all practical purposes they can't buy any new aircraft at the moment, so they need every airframe they have. They were planning to replace the 767s with 777s and 787s, but that sale was scrubbed due to an agreement with their pilots over keeping operating costs down but it could be back on after that agreement is renegiated next month.
