First put into service by Air France in 1974, the widebody twin engine A300 was Airbus Industrie's first aircraft. A300 pioneered the wide body twin-aisle and twin engines airliner configuration. Airbus A300 is the first design of Europe's most successful airliner manufacturer. Aerospatiale of France, CASA of Spain , Daimler Chrysler Aerospace of Germany and British Aerospace are formed the AIRBUS Industrie consortium in the late 1960 specifically to develop a twin engined widebody. The A300 designation has a 'B' suffix to denote the change. The first A300B prototype flew on October 28, 1972. In the 1970's, as wide body services were becoming a feature of long haul travel,airbus has been introduced A300 family. It was the first twin-aisle aircraft optimized for demanding regional operations. After the launch, sales of the A300 were weak for some years, with most orders going to airlines that had an obligation to order the locally-made product - notably Air France and Lufthansa. At one stage, Airbus had 16 "whitetail" A300s - completed but unsold aircraft - sitting on the tarmac. In 1977 giant US carrier Eastern Airlines leased four A300s as an in-service trial. Eastern Airlines, was impressed as the A300 consumes 30% less fuel than his fleet of Tristars and then ordered 23 of the type. This was followed by an order from Pan Am. From then on, the A300 family sold well,The A300-600 is advanced developments of the original A300B2/B4 a number of significant improvements and refinements, foremost being a two crew flightdeck and increased range. First flight for the A300-600 was on July 8 1983, the first airline delivery was in March 1984. The A300-600 was further developed into the long range A300-600R, its extended range came from a fuel trim tank in the tailplane and higher maximum takeoff weight. First flight of A300-600R was on December 9, 1987, first delivery was April 20, 1988
