A330

The combination of low operating costs, high efficiency, flexibility and optimised performance makes the A330 Family popular with an ever-increasing operator base. 

As another sign of its continuing success worldwide, Airbus handed over its milestone 1,000th A330 aircraft in July 2013. At the time of this landmark handover, A330 jetliners had logged some 25 million-plus flight hours on 5.5 million flights with carriers around the globe.

The multi-talented A330 addresses a full range of operational requirements, including airline passenger and cargo service, VVIP and head-of-state transportation, as well as military airlift and in-flight refuelling. It provides exceptional operational flexibility at lowest cost, with right-sized cabins for passenger, freight, VIP and multi-role military applications. It combines Airbus’ flight-by-wire technology and modern onboard systems with high aerodynamic efficiency for a highly productive aircraft.

In addition to being flown by the largest airlines, the A330 has become a preferred aircraft for charter and leisure operators, as well as for the new segment of low-cost long-haul carriers.
