The A330-800 was introduced by Kuwait Airways on 20 November 2020. The A330-800 retains the fuselage length of the A330-200, but can seat six more passengers (for a total of 252) with an optimised cabin featuring 18-inch-wide economy seats. [15] The -800 should have a range of 7500 nmi (13,900 km; 8,600 mi) with 257 passengers (406 max). [76]
Additional speed ranges are specified for other segments of the approach. [1]: Table II-5-1-2 Table II-5-1-2 Approach plates generally include visibility requirements up to category D. [ 1 ] : II-5-1-3 While ICAO specify a top speed of 391 km/h for Category E, there exist no aircraft with an approach speed above this.
The Airbus A330 ran out of fuel because of a fuel leak caused by improper maintenance. Captain Robert Piché, 48, an experienced glider pilot, and First Officer Dirk DeJager, 28, glided the plane to a successful emergency landing in the Azores, saving the lives of all 306 people (293 passengers and 13 crew) on board.

The performance data for landing an aircraft can be obtained from the aircraft's flight manual or pilot's operating handbook. It will state the distance required to bring the aircraft to a stop under ideal conditions, assuming the aircraft crosses the runway threshold at a height of 50 ft, at the correct speed.
