T\'way Air only operates a few A330-300s (fleet is primarily narrowbody); A330-300 itself is common globally.

Record Flights

Often used for high-density regional and midhaul routes in Asia, Europe, and transatlantic; some have flown longer ferry positioning flights up to 13 hours.

Safety & Events

The A330 series has had minor non-fatal mechanical diversions but is generally considered safe. No major incidents for T\'way Air\'s A330 fleet.

Still flying; A330-300s in active service and in demand on high-volume routes, especially in Asia.
