Airbus A340-600

With the airline industry staggering after the September 11 attacks, new aircraft orders either being deferred, or cancelled altogether. SAA was in a buyers market and with the demise of Swissair, which had A340-600s about to be delivered, made a huge impact on Airbus clinching the SAA deal. As part of a massive order placed in 2002, SAA took delivery of 9 brand new Airbus 340-600 starting with it’s first in December 2002 taking on a total of 9 aircraft, augmenting the fleet of A340-200 and A340-300. Alongside the smaller A340-300 they form the backbone of SAA long haul fleet.
