Airbus
A340-200
Launched in 1987 as part of
the initial A330/340 program, the A340-200 flew further than any other
commercial airliner for over a decade. It allowed airlines to open non-stop
routes such as Paris-Taipei, and Manila-London, distant cities previously served
with stopping services. With the further development of the range capability of
the larger A340-300 and the ultra long range A340-500. The concept of the
A330/A340 Family is unique - a single basic airframe in several versions with
two or four engines to achieve the optimum balance of the operating variables of
size, range and economics for the airline.
