Why this aircraft matters
Introduced as part of Air France’s long-haul fleet modernization, the Airbus A330-200 became a vital bridge to destinations across the globe such as North America, Africa, and the Middle East. Air France placed its first order for the A330-200 in late 1999, with deliveries arriving between 2001 and 2005 to replace older widebodies like the A310 and Boeing 767-300ER
Historically, the A330 family made its commercial debut with Air Inter (now a part of Air France), launching operations in January 1994 with a maiden flight from Paris Orly to Marseille
A standout feature of the A330 is its engineering finesse: the rear-tilted bogey main landing gear, which causes the aft wheels to touch down first, giving the aircraft its silky-smooth touchdown reputation. Aviation fans affectionately know it as the “Butter Machine”, a nickname that underscores the airframe’s refined handling characteristics.
This model captures both the elegance of the Air France livery and the design brilliance that has cemented the A330-200’s status among collectors and aviation lovers alike.
