The '''Airbus A300''' is a [[jet aircraft|jet]] [[airliner]] which was made by [[Airbus]]. Airbus Industries launched the plane in 1972, and it was the first plane with two engines to have more than one aisle between the seats (the first twin-engined wide-body aircraft). The A300 can hold 266 passengers in two classes. It can fly for a [[maximum]] of {{Convert|4070|nmi|km|lk=on}} when it is full, but this depends on the type of A300.
