the A340-200 flew further than any other
commercial airliner for over a decade. It
allowed airlines to open non-stop routes such as
Paris-Taipei, and Manila-London, distant cities
previously served with stopping services. With
the further development of the range capability
of the larger A340-300 and the ultra long range

versions with two or four engines to achieve the
optimum balance of the operating variables of
size, range and economics for the airline. |
