About the history of Airbus A340-200 & -300

The A340-200 and 300 are the initial variants of the successful quad engined A340 family of long haul widebodies. The A340 and closely related A330 were launched in June 1987, with the A340's first flight occurring on October 25 1991 (an A340-300). The A340 entered service with Lufthansa and Air France in March 1993, following JAA certification the previous December. The A340 shares the same flightdeck including side stick controllers and EFIS, plus flybywire, basic airframe, systems, fuselage and wing with the A330 (the flightdeck is also common to the A320 series). Power is from four CFM56s, the four engine configuration being more efficient for long range flights (as twins need more power for a given weight for engine out on takeoff performance) and free from ETOPS restrictions. The A340-300 has the same fuselage length as the A330-300, while the shortened A340-200 trades seating capacity for greater range (first flight April 1 1992). The heavier A340-300E is available in 271,000kg (597,450lb) and 275,000kg (606,275lb) max takeoff weights, their typical ranges with 295 passengers are 13,155km (7100nm) and 13,525km (7300nm) respectively. Power for these models is from 152.3kN (34,000lb) CFM56-5C4s (the most powerful CFM56s built). The first A340-300Es were delivered to Singapore Airlines in April 1996. The 275,000kg (606,275lb) max takeoff weight A340-8000 is based on the 200 but has extra fuel in three additional rear cargo hold tanks and offers a 15,000km (8100nm) range with 232 three class passengers (hence the A340-8000 designation). It too is powered by CFM56-5C4s. One has been built for the Sultan of Brunei. All versions are offered with underfloor passenger sleepers.

This aircraft was manufactured on November 8, 1996 and delivered to EgyptAir on November 26, the same year. Its fuselage registration number is SU-GBM, and it is named Osiris Express. And this is also the first Airbus A340 of Egypt Airlines,It is equipped with four CFMI CFM56-5C3 engines. The thrust of a single engine can reach 145kn (32550lbs). After 16 years of stable flight, the SU-GBM stopped in September 2012. More than a year later, the SU-GBM resumed operation in April 2014. Only five months later, in September 2014, the SU-GBM stopped again, Then in July 2015, the SU-GBM was leased to Air Leisure. After flying for more than a year, on June 10, 2017, the SU-GBM was withdrawn from the lease and stopped at AMM on June 17 of the same year.
