Airbus’ First Family – The A300 – Reaches 40

Air France Was Launch Customer Of The A300B

Airbus is proud to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the entry into service of its first aircraft – the A300B – operated by Air France as the launch customer.

One of the principal manufacturers of airliners, Airbus says it was focused at the very outset on innovation, by designing the A300B as the world’s first twin-engine widebody.

Moreover, the company says the success of that program and the philosophy to innovate has been the cornerstone of Airbus’ ongoing success story.

Since production began in 1974, 878 A300/A310 Family aircraft have been manufactured. Even today, Airbus says, over 400 of these are still in service with 65 customers.
