The A340-300 is a 4-engine, long-range, wide-body jet airliner developed and manufactured by European aviation consortium Airbus. The A340-300 was the first of the A340 family to fly, taking its maiden flight on October 25, 1991. It was introduced into commercial service in March of 1993.

The A340 line was developed based on technology from previous Airbus aircraft, notably the A330. The A340-300, like all iterations of the A340 lineage, features a glass cockpit, advanced avionics, and fly-by-wire controls. The twin-aisle A340 was the first long-range Airbus airliner group, and the A340-300 variant continues to serve customers throughout the world.

The A340-300 is piloted by two and can carry a maximum of 440 passengers, but typically seats from 250 to 335. It measures 208 feet, 10 inches in length, stands 55 feet, 9 inches high, and has a wingspan of 197 feet, 10 inches. The A340-300 is powered by four wing-mounted CFM International CFM56-5C high-bypass turbofan engines that each deliver up to 34,000 pounds of thrust. The A340-300 has a range of 8,400 miles, a service ceiling of 41,450 feet above sea level, a cruising speed of 541 miles per hour, and a top speed of 568 mph.
