Background:
Iberia, legally incorporated as Iberia Líneas Aéreas de España, S.A. Operadora,
Sociedad Unipersonal, is the flag carrier of Spain. Founded in 1927 and based
in Madrid, it operates an international network of services from its main base
of Madrid–Barajas Airport. Iberia, with Iberia Regional (operated by an
independent carrier Air Nostrum) and with Iberia Express, is a part of
International Airlines Group. In addition to transporting passengers and
freight, Iberia Group carries out related activities, such as aircraft
maintenance, handling in airports, IT systems and in-flight catering. Iberia
Group airlines fly to over 109 destinations in 39 countries, and a further 90
destinations through code-sharing agreements with other airlines.
On 8 April 2010, it was confirmed that British Airways and Iberia had signed an
agreement to merge, making the combined operation the third largest commercial
airline in the world by revenue. Shareholders of both carriers approved the
deal on 29 November 2010. The newly merged company, known as International
Airlines Group (IAG), was established in January 2011, although both airlines
continue to operate under their respective brands.
Designed to replace early-generation Boeing 747-200/300 airliners, the A340-600
is capable of carrying 379 passengers in a three-class cabin layout for 13,900
km (7,500 nmi; 8,600 mi). It provides similar passenger capacity to a 747 but
with 25 percent more cargo volume and with lower trip and seat costs. The first
flight of the A340-600 was made on 23 April 2001. Virgin Atlantic began
commercial services in August 2002. The variant's main competitor is the
777-300ER. The A340-600 was replaced by the A350-1000.
The A340-600 is 12 m (39 ft 4.4 in) longer than a −300, more than 4 m (13 ft
1.5 in) longer than the Boeing 747-400 and 2.3 m (7 ft 6.6 in) longer than the
A380, and has two emergency exit doors added over the wings. It held the record
for the world's longest commercial aircraft until the first flight of the
Boeing 747-8 in February 2010. The A340-600 is powered by four 250 kN (56,000
lbf) thrust Rolls-Royce Trent 556 turbofans and uses the Honeywell 331–600 APU.
As with the −500, it has a four-wheel undercarriage bogie on the fuselage
centre-line to cope with the increased MTOW along with the enlarged wing and
rear empennage. Upper deck main cabin space can be optionally increased by
locating facilities such as crew rest areas, galleys, and lavatories upon the
aircraft's lower deck.
