The Airbus A340-300, once the most popular variant of its series with 218 deliveries, now sees only 34 aircraft remaining active as of November 2024. This model is part of a family that includes four variants: the A340-200 and A340-600, which offer higher capacity and range upgrades.
European carriers operate the majority of these quadjets, with Lufthansa maintaining the largest fleet consisting of 13 active A340-300s. "The Airbus A340-300 was the most successful variant of the European planemaker's single-decker quadjet," according to company data.
Ch-aviation reports indicate that several other A340-300s are in maintenance or storage, potentially returning to service. The geographical distribution includes two operators in Africa, six in the Middle East, and four in Europe.
