Airbus A330-243, serial number 656, entered service with China Southern Airlines as B-6058 in April 2005. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines, the aircraft operated domestic trunk routes and international services from China to destinations throughout Asia and beyond. Its combination of long range and moderate widebody capacity made it useful on routes that did not require larger aircraft. B-6058 was withdrawn from service in 2024 after nearly two decades with China Southern. The aircraft was subsequently dismantled and transported to Dongjiang Seaside Park in Tianjin, where it was preserved as a public display in 2025.
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.
