Airbus A340-600 for Sale

The Airbus A340-600 is the largest-capacity member of the A330/A340 family: 75.36 m long, 380 seats in a typical three-class layout and 7,800 nm of range. Only the A340-500 flies farther. Airbus delivered 97 of them between 2002 and 2010, so every A340-600 on the market today is pre-owned.

ICCJET sources the A340-600 for airlines, charter and ACMI operators and private owners, in the configuration the mission needs: passenger, high-density or VIP.

Current availability. For the A340-600, ICCJET has up to 5 on-market aircraft and at least 1 off-market aircraft. Contact us for a consultation: tell us your missions, year range and budget, and we will show you the ones that fit. Confirmed requests, for example with proof of funds, are processed first.

Buyer checklist

What to check before you buy a A340-600

  1. Four engines, four histories. Each Rolls-Royce Trent 556 has its own records. Check life-limited parts (LLP) remaining, the last shop visit and the next one due, engine by engine.
  2. Heavy maintenance. Date and findings of the last heavy check and what falls due next. On an aircraft of this age the next check can change the deal value.
  3. Landing gear. The A340-600 has a centre main landing gear in addition to the two wing gears and the nose gear. Check overhaul status for every gear.
  4. Records. Back-to-birth records, airworthiness directives and service bulletins, damage and repair history.
  5. Cabin. Current layout and seat count against your plan: reconfiguration of a widebody cabin takes time and budget.
  6. Operating economics. Model your routes first: four engines mean four engine maintenance programmes and higher fuel burn than a modern twin of similar size.
  7. Registration and transition. Plan delivery conditions, certificate of airworthiness and change of registry early. Compare 21 aircraft registries.
