Recognition similarity

  • ICAO Code: A345

    Notes: The A340-300 has narrower wingspan and shorter fuselage. Difficult to distinguish unless next to each other.

  • ICAO Code: A342

    Notes: The A340-300 has longer fuselage.

Supplementary

IATA

340 / 343

Accommodation

Flightcrew of two and typical 295 passengers in three classes, up to 335 in two classes configuration.

Notes

Long to ultra long range wide-body airliner. In service since 1993. Longer development of development of A340-200. It can carry more passengers over less range.

Alternative names

  • AIRBUS A-340-300
