Re: A340 officially ceases production
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! sniff I love A343!!!! T_T
Re: A340 officially ceases production
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.

A350 is ugly :p
Re: A340 officially ceases production
A350 is an ugly dog.... -_-' i prefer 787 by way far
Re: A340 officially ceases production
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 ... )Nixpilot wrote:A350 is an ugly dog.... -_-' i prefer 787 by way far
Re: A340 officially ceases production
If i were you I wouldn't have high hopes for that.
Re: A340 officially ceases production
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)Nixpilot wrote:If i were you I wouldn't have high hopes for that.
Re: A340 officially ceases production
I use Overland for A330 and A340
Re: A340 officially ceases production
care to answer why or would you just like to leave it at that?Nixpilot wrote:I use Overland for A330 and A340
Re: A340 officially ceases production
Well, Curis merge for A340/330 is great (Wilco + Overland) so im also fine with that
Re: A340 officially ceases production
I like overland model more than CLS.
Re: A340 officially ceases production
And the POSKY version? too old?Nixpilot wrote:I like overland model more than CLS.
Re: A340 officially ceases production
yes too old
Re: A340 officially ceases production
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....
