​In the mid-1970s, Airbus began development of the A300B9, a larger derivative of the A300, which would eventually become the A330. The B9 was essentially a lengthened A300 with the same wing, coupled with the most powerful turbofan engines available. It was targeted at the growing demand for high-capacity, medium-range, transcontinental trunk routes. Offering the same range and payload as the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 but with 25 per cent more fuel efficiency, the B9 was seen as a viable replacement for the DC-10 and the Lockheed L-1011 Tristar trijets. It was also considered as a medium-ranged successor to the A300.

​

The Airbus A330 is a wide-body aircraft designed and produced by Airbus. Airbus conceived several derivatives of the A300, its first airliner in the mid-1970s. Then the company began development on the A330 twinjet in parallel with the A340 quad-jet and launched both designs with their first orders in June 1987.

​

Airbus's first airliner, the A300, was envisioned as part of a diverse family of commercial aircraft. Pursuing this goal, studies began in the early 1970s into derivatives of the A300. Before introducing the A300, Airbus identified nine possible variations designated B1 through B9.A tenth variant, the A300B10, was conceived in 1973 and developed into the longer-range Airbus 310.

A fresh high quality paint application not only adds an aesthetic appeal to an aircraft exterior, it can in some instances also increase the value of the aircraft. In most cases the value added to the aircraft is actually more than the cost of repainting the aircraft, making painting an aircraft one of the single best investment upgrades. ​

Airbus has been forced to modify the nose landing gear and forward fuselage of the Airbus 330-200f to enable the aircraft to better suit its new role as a cargo carrier. The redesign has required the incorporation of a blister fairing on the underside of the nose to accommodate the revised gear layout.
