Airbus created another wide body that was again, developed from the Airbus A300. This aircraft is called the Airbus A330. The speed of the A330 is Mach 0.74 (or 912 km/h). The A330 is a three class configuration and can accommodate 247 passengers. The primary users of this aircraft are Turkish Airlines, Air China, and China Eastern Airlines.
This aircraft was a perfect platform for a super tanker so Airbus created the A330 MRTT/ KC-30A Voyager.
Airbus is also in the development of the Airbus Beluga XL (Developed from A330) this aircraft's first flight will be expected to be in the summer of 2018. It's expected to be introduced in 2019.
