The A330-200F is a twin-engine, long-range, mid-sized commercial air freighter manufactured by European aerospace consortium Airbus. It is a cargo derivative of the A330-200 twin-aisle passenger jetliner, itself a variant of the A330-300, the first iteration of the A330 line. The A330-200F took its maiden flight on November 5, 2009 and it entered service in 2010.

The A330-200 has a shorter fuselage than the A330-300 and an enlarged rudder and elevator to compensate for the length difference. The two share identical systems, airframe, wings, flight controls, and avionics. Airbus modified the base A330-200 in several ways to create the A330-200F. Changes include a modified forward landing gear to maintain a level deck during loading and unloading, a windowless cabin, and a large main deck cargo door. The A330-200F features a large, strengthened internal main cargo floor that can accommodate all types of cargo containers and pallets.

The A330-200F is crewed by two and can carry up to 134,482 pounds of cargo between its main deck and underfloor. The aircraft measures 193 feet in length, stands 57 feet, 1 inch tall, and has a wingspan of 197 feet, 10 inches. It is powered by two high-bypass turbofan engines that each produce up to 71,100 pounds of thrust.

The A330-200F has a range of 4,773 miles, a service ceiling of 41,100 feet above sea level, and a cruising speed of 541 miles per hour.
