Airbus A330-302, operated by China Airlines as B-18317. The aircraft joined the Taiwanese carrier's widebody fleet for high-capacity regional and medium haul services from Taipei to destinations throughout East and Southeast Asia. Powered by two General Electric CF6-80E1 engines, the A330 provides substantial passenger and cargo capacity while remaining economical on routes that do not require the range of larger long haul aircraft. B-18317 has served destinations across Japan, South Korea, mainland China, and Southeast Asia and represents the versatile A330 family that has been an important part of China Airlines' regional international network.
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.
