Where Does the A340-300 Fly? July 2014 Network Update

Every month The HUB provides an update on the current schedules of three latest aircraft programmes, highlighting the routes the types are being deployed upon. We regularly look at the operations of the Airbus A380, Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Sukhoi SSJ100 Superjet and from last month the Boeing 747-8I. We also feature one guest type each month - last month this was the Saab 2000 and this month looks longer-haul at the Airbus A340-300. We also reveal the network size of each operator and the top destinations served by the aircraft type. This list for July 2014 was compiled on June 30, 2014 and changes to planned routes are likely.

The data is all supplied by OAG Aviation using its OAG Schedules Analyser tool.
