The Airbus A300 And the Airbus A330
Airbus A330 maximum rangeA330-200: 13,400 km (7,200 nmi)A330-200F: 7,400 km (4,000 nmi)A330-300: 11,300 km (6,100 nmi)
A330 first flew in 1992. But the concept started in the 1970s with the developement of the the A300. There was a need to "replace" the aging A300 to be more competetive with "other" aircraft manufacturers. So they came up with new technology airframes for the A330 and A340 (a four engined version of the A330). As a note: The A320 on the other hand was the first to incorporate the fly-by-wire technology installed on the A330 and A340.
Generally they fly the Airbus A330-200. If you would like to see a seating chart try seatguru.com.
Primarily Boeing 757's 767's and Airbus A330's.
Mainly A330's and A340's these days...I fly on them a lot :)
The cruising speed is 541 miles per hours. with a maximum cruising speed of 568 mph.
A330-300: 295 in a three-class configuration, 335 in a two-class configuration or 440 in a single class config. The shorter A330-200 series has less passenger capacity but a longer range.
These two aircraft are essentially two different size models of the same basic Airbus Industries A330 airframe. The A330 is generally used for long-haul international routes. The main difference lies in what the aircraft's wings can carry. The - 300 model has a longer fuselage and holds about 300 passengers. The - 200 model holds about 240 passengers in a shorter fuselage but because it carries less passengers (weight) it can carry more fuel and thereby fly longer distances. The Airbus A320, A330, A340 and A380 series are otherwise known for having "sidestick" controllers and "fly-by-wire" flight controls instead of conventional control wheels.
A330-200: US$176.3 to $185.5m A330-300: $195.9 to $205.7m A330-200F: $180.6 to $187.7m
