A340300

A340300 is a designation that can refer to several different things, but most commonly it is associated with the Airbus A340-300 aircraft. The Airbus A340-300 is a four-engine, long-range, wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Airbus. It is a member of the A340 family and was first introduced in 1993. The A340-300 is designed to carry between 295 and 335 passengers in a typical three-class configuration and has a maximum range of approximately 7,400 nautical miles (13,700 km). It is powered by four turbofan engines, typically CFM56-5C or IAE V2500 variants.

The A340-300 was a popular choice for long-haul routes due to its range and passenger capacity. It competed with aircraft like the Boeing 777-200ER. Over its production life, a number of airlines operated the A340-300, including Lufthansa, Air France, and Swiss International Air Lines. While Airbus has ceased production of the A340 family, many A340-300 aircraft remain in service with various operators. Its four-engine design was a key feature, offering redundancy and performance advantages for certain flight profiles and routes. The development of the A340-300 was part of Airbus's strategy to offer a comprehensive range of commercial aircraft.
