Airbus A330-343, serial number 1146, entered service with Singapore Airlines as 9V-STP in September 2010 before joining TransAsia Airways as B-22103 in October 2015. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent 772B engines, the aircraft provided TransAsia with high-capacity widebody service from Taipei to major regional destinations, particularly routes to Japan. Its TransAsia career was brief because the airline ceased operations in November 2016. B-22103 subsequently joined Hong Kong Airlines as B-LHD in 2017. The aircraft later left passenger service and was prepared for conversion to freighter configuration, extending the useful career of this versatile A330-300 airframe.
Designed as a wide-bodied, long-haul passenger transport to compete with the Boeing 767, the A330 was first flown on November 2nd, 1992. It was designed as a lengthened version of the A300 and was developed in parallel with the larger, four-engined A340, enabling many of the components to be shared between the three types. The A330 also uses the same fly-by-wire technology that was introduced with the A320, featuring a glass cockpit and side-stick controllers. The A330 has the same range and payload capacity as a DC-10 with 25% greater fuel efficiency. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
