History
Airbus launched the A330-200 programme on November 1995. After its first flight on 13 August 1997, two aircraft participated in a rigorous flight test and airworthiness certification programme during which they accumulated 670 flight hours in 1,034 flights. The A330-200 was delivered for the first time in April 1998.
Where the A330-200 is made
A330-200 major sub-assemblies are produced in France, Germany, the UK and Spain. Final assembly takes place in Toulouse, southern France where the customers’ own choice of seats, galleys, toilets, furnishings and other equipment are installed.
