The A340-500 combines performance, comfort and capacity for highly efficient ultra long-haul operations. In a typical three-class cabin arrangement, this version of Airbus’ four-engine A340 Family seats a maximum of 313 passengers, and its cabin flexibility enables seat pitch to be adapted in units of one inch – while galleys, lavatories and stowage can be located in different numbers, groupings and locations.
With a range of up to 9,000 nautical miles, the A340-500 is operating on some of the world’s longest non-stop routes, including direct Singapore-Los Angeles flights with durations of nearly 19 hours.
