Airbus A330-343, registered RA-73787, flies for Aeroflot as part of the Russian flag carrier's fleet of A330-300s supporting medium and long-haul international routes from Moscow. Aeroflot has operated a substantial Airbus widebody fleet including A330s alongside Boeing 777s to serve its extensive network connecting Russia to destinations across Europe, Asia, and beyond, though the carrier's international operations have been significantly curtailed since 2022 due to Western sanctions and airspace restrictions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. As part of this fleet, RA-73787 continues supporting Aeroflot's remaining international and domestic long-haul routes under these constrained operating conditions.
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 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
