A340-500 Air Canada History:
The A340-500 is the world's longest-range commercial airliner.
A340-500's maiden flight was on February 11, 2002 and it received
certification on December 3, 2002 and was delivered to Emirates
Airline. The A340-500 has a seating capacity of 313 passengers in a
three class cabin. The A340-500 features a 4.3 m stretched fuselage,
an enlarged wing area, massive increase in fuel capacity, slightly
higher cruising speed, larger horizontal stabilizer and smaller
vertical tailplane. It also has taxi cameras to help pilots during
ground maneuvers. The A340-500 is powered by four 53,000 lb thrust
Rolls-Royce Trent 553 turbofans.
The A340-500 is capable of traveling non-stop from London to
Perth, Australia, though a return flight requires a fuel stop due to
headwinds. Thai Airways International also had flown the A340-500
non-stop from Bangkok to Los Angeles and Bangkok to New York. The
most recent customer of the A340-400 is the Etihad Airways. Emirates
Airline is the largest operator of the A340-400, with 10 aircraft in
service. In February 2006, the 777-200LR entered service, replacing
the A340-500 as the world's longest-range commercial airliner.
