The A330/A340 Family concept is unique: one basic airframe is available in six different configurations, powered by two or four engines. The twin-engine A330 is optimised for highest revenue generation and the lowest operating costs from regional segments to extended range routes, while the four-engine A340 provides versatility on the mos ...

![BOEING 767 /-200 /-300 /-400 : The Boeing 767, a widebody jet, was introduced at around the same time as the 757, its narrowbody sister, in the early 1980s. With the 707 aging, Boeing decided to offer a midsize plane to fit in between the 727/737/757 and the 747. The aircraft has a fuselage width of 15 ft 6 in (472,44 cm) that splits the difference between the aircraft in half. The 767 was approved for U.S. CAT IIIb operation in March 1984. This revision permitted operations with minimums as low as RVR 300. It was the first aircraft certificated for CAT IIIb by the U.S.[1]
The 767 offers a twin aisle configuration of 2+3+2 in economy with the most common business configuration of 2+2+2. It is possible in some charter configurations to squeeze an extra seat for a 2+4+2 configuration, however the seats are very narrow and this is not common. The 767 has a seat-to-aisle ratio in economy class of 3.5 seats per aisle, making for quicker food service and quicker exit of the plane than many other jetliners, which typically have between four and six seats per aisle in economy class.](/photos/random.mg?AlbumID=3049384&Size=Thumb&AlbumKey=BWyWN&rand=1133 "BOEING 767 /-200 /-300 /-400 : The Boeing 767, a widebody jet, was introduced at around the same time as the 757, its narrowbody sister, in the early 1980s.

![BOEING MD-80 / MD-90 SERIES : The MD-80 series is a mid-size, medium-range airliner that was introduced in 1980. The design was second generation of the DC-9 with two rear fuselage-mounted turbofan engines, small, highly efficient wings, and a T-tail. The aircraft has a distinctive 5-abreast seating in coach class. It was a lengthened DC-9-50 with a higher maximum take-off weight (MTOW) and the ability to carry more fuel. The airplane series was designed for frequent, short-haul flights for 130 to 172 passengers depending on plane version and seating arrangement. Originally it was designated DC-9-80 and marketed as the "DC-9 Super 80". That was changed to MD-80 before the initial launch as a marketing move to show that McDonnell Douglas had a new airliner for the 1980s.
The MD-90 is a mid-size, medium-range airliner that was developed from the MD-80 series. It was a 5 feet longer, updated version of the MD-88 with a similar electronic flight instrument system (EFIS), (glass cockpit) and even more powerful, quieter and fuel efficient IAE V2500 engines. The MD-90 features seating for 153 to 172 passengers depending on seating arrangement.
The MD-90 was launched in 1989, first flew in 1993 and entered service in 1995. The MD-90 came in two versions: -30 and -30ER. The -30 had a range of 2,400 miles. The -30ER had a higher gross weight and range up to 2,750 miles with an auxiliary fuel tank.
MD-90 production ended in 2001 due to internal competition with Boeing's own 737-800 after Boeing and McDonnell Douglas merged in 1997. The final 20 MD-90s were built under contract in China under the Trunkliner program.[2][3] The MD-90 is the least successful member of the DC-9 family with 117 planes sold.](/photos/random.mg?AlbumID=3049459&Size=Thumb&AlbumKey=G78Qn&rand=2478 "BOEING MD-80 / MD-90 SERIES : The MD-80 series is a mid-size, medium-range airliner that was introduced in 1980.
