History

The Airbus A.330 is the medium range version of the Airbus family of jet airliners. A longer range version, the A.330-200, began entering service in the late 1990s and is becoming increasingly popular with airlines around the world.

The A.330-200 is one of a family of airliners that uses common wings and fuselages but with different engines to economise on production and operation.

The first A.330 flew in 1992 but the shorter -200 version did not fly until 1997 and entered service a year later.

It is proving very competitive with the popular international versions of the Boeing 767 airliner
