The A340s will be dearly missed.
There is something special and aesthetic about single deck, quad-engine aircrafts, and quad-engine aircrafts in general...

[@nurrizadjatmiko21]

IMO, it's a perfect replacement aircraft for the A340

[@DeltaXFish]

I'm surprised the 330neo was not picked for Edelweiss but since the A350 frames was available now it makes sense to take them now.

[@angelorobel12]

You're right. Edelweiss chose the A350 to adapt with its new design. The A330NEO is just part of the A330 family inheriting some exterior design elements from the A300 from the 1970's.

2:10 love the a350 formation. That's gotta be the coolest formation in Aviation History

[@NAP795]

Flew many times on Iberia’s all A340 models, and Loved these aircraft for their era, but Airbus transitioned into the A350’s, which should be my next best choice after the A380’s. Good Luck Edelweiss in your new aircraft venture👏✌️

[@ari_29971]

When I first saw the title I was like YES YES YES but at the same time, I’m sad for the A340’s going away

[@grigandy]

Quadjets are becoming obsolete very fast

[@wadehiggins1114]

Great choice

[@eamonahern7495]

I know very little about that airline

[@harstoft]

RR will be happy these planes are back in the sky. They charge by the flying hour - can’t imagine planes being sat in the desert is profitable for the engine maker.

[@alfredsogavare4739]

Based on the coy strategy, the a350 will definitely deliver the bottom line results

[@MrKykoo]

It's a good deal to replace the A340s. They are old and becoming uncomfortable.
I was still on the A340-300 Air Glacier last month and these 30 years old were really showing, despite excellent maintenance.

On "Air-Glaciers" A340? The helicopter company?

@@thomasnorb4077 They are called Air Glaciers due to the Glacial pace of flight, the planes are anaemic.

Trash upgrade. 4 engines for the win

[@derser541]

have you ever even flown before, flight sim kid?

[@GarlandTexasSpotter2024]

Twin Engines are more fuel efficient, safe for the environment and less costs then quad jets or trijets.
