A Look At The Airbus A330 MRTT: The Military Version Of The A330-200

The Airbus A330 has been a staple aircraft of long-haul commercial air travel since Air Inter first flew it commercially in 1994. However, it has also proved to be a successful base for several further developments, used in other areas of aviation. For example, Airbus based its enormous Beluga XL freighter on the type, making its first flight in 2018. And, over the last decade, a variant of the type has also entered military service in various countries - the A330 MRTT.
