12. Airbus A330-300
The maximum seating capacity is 335 passenger seats in 2 class configuration for the A330-300 and the cruising speed is approximately 531 mph. In 2012 this model was in high demand by the Garuda Airlines, who ordered 11 of these for $2.54 billion. The government of Indonesia owns the majority of Garuda’s shares. Garuda has various international destinations including Asia, the Middle East, and the Pacific.
This version was also popular due to low seat mile cost for passengers, which helped attract a high number of customers, and is known to be a quieter jetliner compared to others. Also, the A330-300 was the first aircraft to receive both European Joint Airworthiness Authorities (JAA) and US FAA certification, which took place in 1993. Less than two months after, this plane entered into service.
