Airbus struggling to climb out of the Grave
2007-01-17
Airbus is launching the A330 Freighter version to compete with Boeing.
"C'mon, Fidel! You can do this! Live, dammit, live!"
::mumble::
"What?"
::mumble:
"Oopsie, wrong story. My bad."
The Linked article has all the info as well as a cool graphic comparing the A330 to the 767 and 777 freighters. There is a potential spill over here with the Airbus / Northrop-Grumman team for the next USAF Tanker; the A330 is the baseline aircraft for this team.

#4   I suspect that the orders for the A330 are begining to slow to a trickle. Launching the freighter will keep the prouction line flowing until the USAF chooses a tanker.

The question is why buy the A330F when A300-600/A310-300 conversions are available for a fraction of the price?

#3  Actually, I quite like flying the Jetblue Airbus aircraft. They are clean, comfortable, and I enjoy the individual DirecTV in my seat. I don't wish AB ill, I just wish they were less Gallic. Mon dieu.
