Boeing-747-300 is a four-engined long-range airliner manufactured by the American Boeing. It is a modification of 747SUD with a stretched upper deck which provides accommodation for additional 44 passengers. Changes were also made to the main deck to allow additional passengers to be carried in an all-economy arrangement. The airplane is being used since 1983. The customers for the production -300 included Egyptair, Korean Air, Malaysian, Sabena, Saudia, Singapore, South African and others. The only -300 was lost at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport on March 16, 1985 when it was destroyed by fire while undergoing maintenance. Interestingly, a similar fate awaited an A340 at the same location ten years later.

The ultra-long-range A340 is an all-new, wide-body, four-engine, twin-aisle aircraft. It is offered in two models, the -200 and -300 whose length is increased by two four-frame fuselage plugs.
The design combines the high technology, developed for the A320, with the vast experience gained from the A300 and A310 aircraft currently in worldwide service.
Since its introduction in early 1993, the aircraft has been the most advanced long-range airliner offering a major stride forward in airline profitability.
