EASA (the European Aviation Safety Agency) has granted type certification to the Airbus A330-200F, after the new freighter completed a 200 hour, two aircraft flight test campaign, which validated the aircraft’s payload as 70 tonnes, one more than originally expected.

“After a very smooth and successful flight test campaign we have reached certification in line with our planning,” Christian Favre, A330/340 chief engineer, said. “Moreover, thanks to some design optimisation, the aircraft’s payload capability of 70 tonnes is one tonne more than first expected.”
