About this type
Four engines, forever. The A340-300 was built for an era when twins could not cross remote oceans, and a stubborn handful still fly scheduled passengers today, making it a living piece of long-haul history.
Four small CFM56s under one big wing produce an unmistakable silhouette and a distinctive multi-engine drone worth catching while you can.
First flight: October 25, 1991.
Developed side by side with the twin A330 on the same wing.
Marketed with the slogan: four engines for long haul.
