A330 Pilot Jobs

About the A330

There are over a thousand A330 aircraft in operation with many more on order, making this an attractive fleet to join with continued career opportunities well into the future. With Airbus’ Crew-Crew-Qualification concept, fly-by-wire qualified pilots are positioned for an easy transition to the A330, through straightforward and rapid differential training.

​The Airbus A330 is a medium to long range wide-body twin-engine jet airliner. The A330 typically will seat over 250 passengers in 3 classes of service, while offering capacity for just over 400 travellers in a high density configuration, or carry 70 tonnes (154,000 lb) of cargo. Versions of the A330 have a range of 5,000 to 13,430 kilometres (2,700 to 7,250 nautical miles; 3,110 to 8,350 miles). The A330 was first developed in the mid-1970s in parallel with the four-engine A340, which shared many common airframe components but a different number of engines. Both airliners incorporated fly-by-wire flight control technology. In 1987, Airbus launched the A330, offering airlines a choice of three engines: General Electric CF6, Pratt & Whitney PW4000, and Rolls-Royce Trent 700. 

Since its first flight, the A330 has been an example of a highly-innovative aircraft that delivers superior quality and efficiency. As a member of Airbus’ family of widebody jetliners, the A330 benefits from a continuous investment of 150 million euro every year – integrating the latest developments from the A350 and A380 Aircraft Families to maintain its position as the best in its class.

With the arrival of the new engine option (NEO), the A330 family continues to go from strength to strength. Advances in modern engines and wing design further enhance the performance of this aircraft; delivering savings on fuel burn while simultaneously helping the environment.
