Airbus Achieves A330-900 Certification

摘要

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has awarded the Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 powered Airbus A330-900 its Type Certificate, allowing first customer deliveries to start shortly. Two A330-900s were involved in the flight test and certification programme, completing around 1,400 hours in under a year following the type's maiden flight on October 19, 2017. In agreement with launch customer TAP Air Portugal, its first-built aircraft has served as a demonstrator for route proving trials around the world, during which it visited more than 12 countries. Guillaume Faury, president Airbus Commercial Aircraft, said: "This new-generation aircraft with unparalleled efficiency and flexibility from short- to long-haul routes has tremendous market potential. We look forward to delivering the first aircraft equipped with the new Airspace cabin to customers soon."
