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 11 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 →

Oct 26, 2016 (22:50 UTC)Incident · Seattle, WANTSB #ENG17IA003Aircraft in report: AIRBUS A330 223Damage: Not recordedHighest injury: None
NTSB probable cause: A No. 1 engine fire caused by a fuel manifold supply line high cycle fatigue crack which led to a fuel leak that subsequently ignited on hot engine case surfaces. The fatigue crack originated and progressed due to elevated fuel manifold assembly vibration levels. Engine vibration testing identified a combustor tone that excites a natural (resonant) frequency of the fuel manifolds at specific engine speeds on Pratt & Whitney PW4000-94 and -100 inch fan series engines that feature a TALON II combustor.
