Airbus A330-241, serial number 254, first flew in April 1999 with test registration F-WWKT before delivery to British Airtours International Airways as G-MLJL in June 1999. Following the 2002 rebrand to MyTravel Airways and 2007 merger into Thomas Cook, the aircraft flew for over a decade under multiple liveries, briefly operating for Garuda Indonesia in 2012 before returning to Thomas Cook. G-MLJL earned lasting fame as the aircraft that operated Thomas Cook's very last flight, from Orlando to Manchester on September 23, 2019, marking the end of the 178-year-old travel company before the aircraft was scrapped in early 2021.
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.
