About the Aircraft
The A300 is the first Airbus jet ever created and is the longer brother of the Airbus A310. It was manufactured from 1971 to 2007 and its first flight was made in 1972.
The aircraft is renowned for being the first twin-jet wide-body airliner. It typically seats 247 passengers and has a range of over 7500 kilometres. The A300-600 is powered by CF6-80C2 and PW4000 engines and the first flight of this variant was done in 1982.
The launch customer was Air France, and they introduced the type in 1974. In 1986, Boeing created their direct competitor, Boeing 767.
Currently, there are over 230 planes of this type still flying in the real skies, with the largest operators being Iran Air, UPS, Mahan Air, FedEx and European Air Transport Leipzig.
