Airbus A330

The Airbus A330 is a wide-body twin-engine jet airliner that first flew in 1992 and entered service in 1994. Developed alongside the four-engine A340, the A330 shares a common airframe and systems but uses two high-bypass turbofan engines instead. The family consists of the shorter A330-200 and longer A330-300 variants, plus the re-engined A330neo (A330-800 and A330-900) launched in 2014. With over 1,650 aircraft delivered, the A330 has become one of the most successful wide-body aircraft programs, serving on both medium-haul and long-haul routes worldwide.
