The Airbus A330-300 is a wide-body aircraft and a variant of A330 series. The A330-300 is tied with the Airbus A330-900 as the longest variant in the series leading to more passenger seating but decreased range. The A330-300 was designed alongside the Airbus A340 and therefore is visually similar in look and design with the major difference being the number of engines. The A330-300 is still in production but is being replaced by the A330-900 in the Airbus catalogue. The A330-300 can fly on high demand domestic and transcontinental routes but is also ideal for busy, long haul routes like transatlantic flights. With the amount of seating and range, this aircraft is typically used on high demand routes.
