The Airbus A321- is the "bigger brother" from the Airbus A320 family. Designed to optimise revenue through passenger comfort and cabin adaptability as well as ensure savings in every element of direct operating cost, the A318, A319, A320 and A321 make up the world's most profitable single-aisle aircraft family. They provide operators with the highest degree of commonality and economy for aircraft in the 100-220 seat category.

The twin-engine A330 combines some of the lowest operating costs of any aircraft ever designed with maximum flexibility for a wide range of route structures. The A330-300, which first entered service in early 1994, typically seats 335 passengers in two classes or 295 passengers in three classes and can fly up to 5,600 nm/10,400 km. It was joined in 1998 by the A330-200, which offers long range capability of up to 6,650 nm/12,300 km with ETOPS capability on the routes for which it was designed and seats 253 passengers in three classes.

The A340-300 was made for the 300-seat long-range market. It offers lower costs than competing aircraft over any range. The ability to generate profits on routes not viable with older or oversized equipment increases flexibility and gives access to new markets. Direct point-to-point services and increased flight frequencies provide the marketing advantage required to win high-yield traffic, while the luxurious and spacious cabin helps keep it. The A340-300 flies 295 passengers in a typical three-class cabin layout over 7,400 nm/13,700 km range.
