It can carry up to 256 passengers in a three-class aircraft and cover a range of 10,500km. The aircraft can fly at 880kph at a cruising altitude of 10,700 metres.

Is the A330 a heavy?

What does “Heavy” really mean? The FAA requires any aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight in excess of 300,000lbs to use the term “heavy.” This includes Boeing 747, 767, 777, and 787 aircraft. Airbus A300, A310, A330, A340, and A350 aircraft must also use this term.
