Wright Air (branded as Wright International Airways) is the flag-carrier of the Wright Isles founded in 1963. The airline purchased 3 Airbus A340-300s between 1999 and 2001 in order to expand to the long-haul economy. The plane was able to serve non-stop transatlantic flights but needed a fueling stop at Honolulu for transpacific flights. One aircraft was retired but stored due to COVID-19 and expected to return to service by Christmas 2023. Credit: XAircraftManufacturer as always
