Airbus Collection

The wide-body Airbus A300-600R, the A310-200/300 and the massively outsize A300-600ST Beluga, with its impressive upward-opening cargo nose door, are stalwarts of Airbus Industries aircraft. The A300 and the A310 meet the demanding requirements of many airlines for carrying large numbers of passengers over medium- to long-range routes. The distinctive Beluga is employed within Airbus Industries itself to carry other Airbus aircraft sub-assemblies around the various manufacturing plants in Europe. All are built in Europe by Airbus Industries using a mixture of traditional and modern high-tech materials and employ the latest in technology to ensure safety, performance and efficiency over the routes they fly.
