The Airbus A330-300, Airbus's first successful long-range wide-body airliner, revolutionized twin-engine intercontinental travel and became one of aviation's most successful aircraft. First flown on November 2, 1992, it was a low-wing twin-engine wide-body that could seat up to 440 passengers in high-density configuration. Measuring over 208 feet in length, the A330-300 incorporated fly-by-wire technology and a six-screen glass cockpit manufactured by Airbus.
