The Airbus A330 is a wide-body airliner made by Airbus. In the mid-1970s, Airbus conceived several derivatives of the A300, its first airliner, and developed the A330 twinjet in parallel with the A340 quadjet. In June 1987, Airbus launched both designs with their first orders. The A330-300, the first variant, took its maiden flight in November 1992 and entered service with Air Inter in January 1994. The slightly shorter A330-200 variant followed in 1998. In 2014, Airbus launched the A330neo, re-engined with Trent 7000 turbofans, which entered service in November 2018.
As of December 2019, A330 orders stand at 1,823 of which 1,492 have been delivered and 1,443 remain in operation. The A330 has allowed Airbus to expand its wide-body market share. It competes with the Boeing 767 and smaller variants of the 777 and the 787. It is complemented by the larger AirbusA350 XWBwhich succeeded the A340.

About Qantas
Qantas Airwaysis theflag carrierof Australia and its largest airline by fleet size, international flights and international destinations.It is thethird oldest airline in the World, after KLM, and Aviancahaving been founded in November 1920; it began international passenger flights in May 1935. The Qantas name comes from 'QANTAS' an acronym forits original name,'Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services'and it is nicknamed"The Flying Kangaroo".Qantas is a founding member of the OneWorld airline alliance.
Qantas entered the Jet Age in July 1959 with Boeing 707 services to the USA. The service was extended to London (via New York). Sydney-London services (via India) began in October 1959. In total, Qantas took delivery of seven Boeing 707-138 aircraft, and a further six-138Bs.
From 7 November 1959 to 30 May 1963, Qantas operated sixDE Havilland Comet4 aircraft, wet leased from BOAC. The aircraft were crewed by BOAC flight and cabin crew and featured Qantas titles on the fuselage in place of the BOAC titles
Qantas became the world's only all Boeing 747 operator. In 1981, two short body 747SPs also entered the fleet for flights toWellington [due to its short runway], and then they were subsequently used on non-stop flights between Sydney and Los Angeles.
In November 1984, Qantas commenced service with six Boeing 747-338 aircraft with an extended upper deck.
On its delivery flight the first, 1989-builtBoeing 747-400flew a record-breaking nonstop flight from London to Sydney in little more than 20 hours; as of January 2015that record still stands.
From 1985, the first of sevenBoeing 767-238ERs entered the fleet. These were followed by the Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, with the first example delivered in August1988;seven additional Boeing 767-336ERs were leased and subsequently purchased from British Airways entering service from August 2000.
2007 saw the introduction of the Qantas Airbus Industrie A380. Its acquisitionwas to enable the phasing out of the famous Boeing B747Jumbo Jet.With the A380 Qantas achieved a perfect flight via utilisingthe A380 Flight Management Computers for a Sydney'Gate to Gate'Los Angeles flight.
2017 saw the introduction of the Qantas Boeing B787Dreamlinerthat has the capability to fly from Perth-Australia to London-UK non-stop.
This history represents many of the most important Airliner advancements to occur in modern 20th and 21st century history.

Collectors' Hint - What are my choices with Plastic Model purchasing and collecting?
It is the nature of the Space and Aviation market that Space and Aircraft Model Kits of important space or aviationvehicles tend to be limited in production or alternatively sell very quickly. Two different examples are the premier Apollo 11 kits or the P-51 Mustang.
Many model kits are 're-launched' on significant anniversaries.
Typically, the two key choices when purchasing plastic model kits are:
i)Make the Plastic Model or
ii) Preserve the Plastic Model 'pristine' in its box and with all original plans and parts for the future.
The former choice i) provides the enjoyment and satisfaction of model making, more so when they are rare or unusual models.
The latter choice ii) can sometimes result in a purchase worth thousands of dollars in later years or decades. There are hundreds of examples.
Of course a 3rd choice is to benefit from both and purchase two models!
Limited Editionsare exceptional examples!
