What kind of aircraft is this?

The Airbus A330 is a twin-engine, twin-aisle (wide-body) jet used on medium and long-haul routes since the 1990s.

In plain terms, it's a jet (turbofan) multi-engine airplane. Certification: Type certificated (factory design approved by the FAA).

There are 21 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, and about 124 Airbus aircraft with closely related model designations, out of 317,717 registered aircraft in total.

An aircraft's age on its own says little about how safe it is: airliners are maintained on strict, regulator-approved schedules, and inspections become more detailed as aircraft get older. More about the Airbus A330 →
