The six members of the Airbus A330/A340 widebody Family are essentially the same aircraft that have been adapted to differing requirements for seating capacity and flight length.

They all can be flown by the same pilots, maintained by the same support personnel, and their passenger cabins – which use the optimised Airbus 222-inch cross-section – provide maximum flexibility and comfort in all classes of seating.

The A330/A340 Family offers airlines the full benefits of commonality over a wide market spectrum, with optimum economic and operational efficiency. The twin-engine A330 is ideally suited to medium- and extended-range routes, while the four-engine A340 offers unmatched efficiency on long to ultra-long routes.

With more than 900 aircraft sold to over 60 customers, the A330 and A340 are the preferred choice of airlines worldwide, and they continue to be the best-selling airliners in their categories.
