NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! sniff I love A343!!!! T_T

Well the A340 has less range with less passengers compared to the B777, and in addition it carries two engines more, which ones want to be maintained and payed. So it was a decision of Airbus market analysts, to finish the production line. For us aviation enthusiasts it's a pity, this aircraft is a really elegant Airbus, the A330 also, so guys, this one still stays in production, till the A350 is coming.

I prefer the A330 and the 787, how about that? (I just hope PA will consider the A330 next, its an elegant aircraft still in production ... )

If i were you I wouldn't have high hopes for that.

I have a small question (not part of this topic), if PA in the near future dont attempt the A330, which A330 would you use and why? (POSKY, Overland, or CLS)

I use Overland for A330 and A340

Nixpilot wrote:I use Overland for A330 and A340

care to answer why or would you just like to leave it at that?

Well, Curis merge for A340/330 is great (Wilco + Overland) so im also fine with that

I like overland model more than CLS.

And the POSKY version? too old?

yes too old

Seeing aircraft lines shut down is always painful. I was upset when the last 717 was delivered... Later Douglas!

Perhaps Airbus sees the A380 as the good substitute for the A340. After all, the A380 flies a little further than most of the A340's ( with the exception of the -500 I believe) and it seems to have a lot more room and capacity for people and cargo. If they wanted to keep the same number of pax, perhaps they could give the people in economy some much needed breathing room....

Oh come on.....
Last single decked 4 engine airliner gone.........

Now what?

Now Airbus produces the 777 in license...^^

need a good A340-300 model >.< with a good paintkit

Come on man, A330-200 would be really appreciated.

Totes man

I wish PA would get off their butts
