The A340-500 combines performance, comfort nd capacity for highly efficient ultra long-haul operations. \u00a0In a two-class cabin arrangement, this version of Airbus\u2019 four-engine A340 Family seats 282 passengers, and its cabin flexibility enables seat pitch to be adapted in units of one inch \u2013 while galleys, lavatories and stowage can<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\nbe located in different numbers, groupings and locations.<\/p>\n

With a range of up to 9,000 nautical miles, the A340-500 can operate some of the world\u2019s longest non-stop routes, including direct Singapore-New York flights with durations of nearly 19 hours.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

As a jetliner in the A340 product line, it joins the A340-200, A340-300 and A340-600 in fully benefitting from Airbus commonality. All four aircraft can be flown with the same type rating, while the cross-crew qualification concept means pilots can more rapidly qualify for another aircraft type within the Airbus flyby-wire product line, leading to significant cost savings.<\/p>\n

Airbus keeps the A340-500 and the other members of its A340 Family updated to meet market requirements and the evolution of technology.\u00a0 This includes state-of-the-art cabin features for passengers, along with advanced navigation aids and new capabilities such as the electronic flight bag for pilots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Advanced navigation technology developed for the A320 Family is available on the A319.\u00a0 The use of RNP-AR (Required Navigation Precision \u2013 Authorisation Required) procedures combined with RTA (Required Time of Arrival) operations eliminates the need for holds during a flight, and enables a continuous descent approach.\u00a0 The net benefits are lower noise and reduced fuel burn, as less engine thrust is required.<\/p>\n

The A319 shares the same fly-by-wire flight controls and state-of-the-art cockpit as the other A320 Family members, profiting from the unique benefits of Airbus operational commonality.\u00a0 All of these aircraft \u2013 the A318, A319, A320 and A321 \u2013 share the same pilot type rating.\u00a0 With only minimal additional training, A320 Family-rated pilots can quickly transition to Airbus\u2019 widebody jetliners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The A340\u2019s optimised 222-inch fuselage cross-section gives airlines the cabin versatility to match market requirements, from ultra high-comfort premium seating to economy class layouts in seven-, eight- and nine-abreast layouts.\u00a0 Below the main deck, the A340-500\u2019s large<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

cargo holds accepts a full range of freight, including industry-standard LD3 containers in side-by-side loading.\u00a0 The A340-500\u2019s forward hold accommodates 18 LD3s or six 96-inch pallets, while the aft hold takes 12 LD3s or four 96-inch pallets.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
