Gradually introduced from 2008 onwards, the current total of 20 A330 aircraft operated form the backbone of the Russian airlines' longhaul fleet. Initially intended only as a stop-gap measure until the delivery of the first Airbus A350 and Boeing 787, they will most probably have to shoulder the majority of the long distance routes for years to come.
Designed as a wide-bodied, long-haul passenger transport to compete with the Boeing 767, the A330 was first flown on November 2nd, 1992. It was designed as a lengthened version of the A300 and was developed in parallel with the larger, four-engined A340, enabling many of the components to be shared between the three types. The A330 also uses the same fly-by-wire technology that was introduced with the A320, featuring a glass cockpit and side-stick controllers. The A330 has the same range and payload capacity as a DC-10 with 25% greater fuel efficiency. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
