Airbus A330-323

21 aircraft

The Airbus A330 revolutionized long-haul aviation as the first successful European twin-engine wide-body airliner, proving that twin-jets could efficiently operate transcontinental routes previously dominated by four-engine aircraft. First flown on November 2, 1992, it was a low-wing twin-engine wide-body that could seat 250 to 440 passengers depending on configuration. Measuring 63.7 meters in length with a 60.3-meter wingspan, it was manufactured by Airbus Industries.
