Aviation History

The Airbus A330 is a popular wide-body, twin-engine aircraft introduced to compete with Boeing's 767 and as a modern long-hauler for medium and high-capacity routes.

Fleet Rarity

Relatively common worldwide but rare in Aeroflot's fleet now, as many frames are stored or replaced by newer types.

Record Flights

Commonly used on long-haul routes such as Moscow to Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America.

Safety & Events

The A330 series has an excellent safety record with only a few major incidents worldwide. Aeroflot's A330 fleet was notable for being grounded during Western sanctions in 2022.
