Airbus A310-200

The first A310, certified in March 1983 and in service the same year. It carries 55,100 litres in three tanks — the -300's tail trim tank came later — and seats 237 in a single class against a certified maximum of 275. Its two-crew flight deck was the first on a widebody and is what the A300-600 was rebuilt to use. Cruise speed, range, ceiling and climb rate are EUROCONTROL's figures for the A310 type code rather than a certificate's: a type certificate states limits and weights, not cruise performance, and the source does not distinguish sub-variants. Maximum operating Mach number is the certificated figure for the A310-200 series from EASA TCDS A.172 (Airbus A300, A310, A300-600), issue 08, 1 February 2026, section 11.5: MMO 0.84.
