Long-haul · four engines, the cabin of the A330-300
Airbus A340-300
A single Airbus A340-300 completes our long-haul order. It offers the same three cabins and the same 272 seats as the A330-300, carried by four engines instead of two.
The A340-300 shares its fuselage cross-section and its wing with the A330, and at 63.69 metres it is almost exactly as long as the A330-300. The difference is under the wing: four CFM56-5C engines instead of two larger ones. Its range is up to 13,500 kilometres. We will publish its routes once the long-haul schedule is confirmed.
The cabin will seat 272 passengers in three classes. Business has 48 seats in a 1–2–1 layout, so every seat opens directly onto an aisle. Behind it come 32 seats in Economy Max and 192 in Economy. Both are arranged 2–4–2 across two aisles, which means no seat is more than one place away from an aisle.
