History
The initial orders for the Airbus A330 were secured on 12 March 1987, when French carrier Air Inter placed firm orders for five aircraft along with 15 options, and Thai Airways International requested eight aircraft divided between firm orders and options. Airbus aimed to officially launch the A330/A340 program by mid-April 1987, with delivery targets set for May 1992 for the A340 and the following year for the A330. On 31 March, Northwest Airlines signed a letter of intent for 20 A340s and 10 A330s.
Air Inter became the inaugural operator of the A330, receiving its first aircraft on 30 December 1993 and initiating service in January 1994. Deliveries to Malaysia Airlines and Thai Airways experienced delays due to issues with composite materials used in engine thrust reversers. Thai Airways commenced operations with its first A330 in December 1994, followed by Malaysia Airlines in February 1995. Cathay Pacific took delivery of Trent 700 engines in March 1995 after their certification was granted in December 1994.
