The A330-200 is the shorter-fuselage variant of Airbus\u2019 A330 twin-engine widebody family, and has the versatility to cover all ranges from short-haul to true long-haul, with ideal sizing for point-to-point operations.<\/p>\n

Its optimised 222-inch fuselage cross-section \u2013 which is shared with the other members of Airbus\u2019 A330\/A340 Family \u2013 accommodates 246 passengers in a comfortable two-class cabin layout that provides more window and aisle seats in much quieter cabins.\u00a0 As a modern jetliner, the A330-200 accepts the latest in-flight entertainment, including video-on-demand, mobile telephone and e-mail via satellite.<\/p>\n

Another advantage of the A330-200\u2019s fuselage is its<\/p>\n

<\/td>\n<\/td>\nlarge-capacity underfloor cargo holds, which accommodate industry-standard LD3 containers in side-by-side loading, as well as 96-inch pallets.<\/p>\n

The A330-200 is well established with major carriers around the world, and has become a preferred aircraft for charter and leisure operators, as well as the growing low-cost long-haul market segment.\u00a0 With Airbus commonality in cockpit and cabin systems, an increasing number of airlines that fly the single-aisle A320 Family are discovering the advantages of stepping up to the widebody A330-200 for higher-capacity, longer-range service.<\/p>\n

Airbus\u2019 continuous investment in the A330 Family benefits the A330-200 version by lowering costs and improving operations. This includes system upgrades and enhancements, the introduction of advanced navigation aids and new-generation flight instrumentation, and engine upgrades. \u00a0Updated passenger cabin features developed for the A330 include state-of-the-art LED lighting, smoother contours with softened lines and new interior styling \u2013 all of which provide a lighter, brighter and more spacious interior.<\/p>\n

An increased maximum takeoff weight of 242 metric tonnes was launched by Airbus in November 2012. \u00a0The new 242-tonne A330-200 will fly \u00a0350 nautical miles \u00a0farther \u2013 to over 7,200 nautical miles (13,350 km.) \u2013 with 246 passengers and carry over 3.4 tonnes more payload than the previous 238-tonne A330-200 version. \u00a0This latest takeoff weight increase also will bring increased fuel efficiency thanks to wing aerodynamic refinements and enhancements to the engines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Long-range crew accommodations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For long-distance operations, the A330-200 can be fitted with innovative crew rest areas. A secure rest facility for pilots with one or two bunks is designed to be located next to the cockpit for easy, rapid access.\u00a0 A mobile rest area for cabin crews can be installed in the aircraft\u2019s lower-deck aft cargo hold and accessed by a stair from the main cabin \u2013 thereby eliminating any impact on<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\npassenger seating.\u00a0 Based on a 96 X 125-inch pallet, this cabin crew facility can have up to seven bunks and be removed in 50 minutes for shorter flight operations not requiring crew rest accommodations.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
