I'm upset that Caribbean Airlines did only use this aircraft for a few months and get rid it after. It's better to have bigger aircraft in your fleet because think of how many passengers you could of carry.
My GOSH that plane seems so HUGE! It has another set of wheels between the two rear landing wheels? Video doesnt do justice to the size these aircraft must be. How many passengers can they seat? And does anyone know how wide the wingspan, the length,stc? And also, how FAST do these giants have to be going when that front wheel leaves the ground for takeoff? I am really new and ignorant to this so would appreciate any knowledge sharing. Thank you, and, btw, great video.
I want this video on my MP300 unit.

they don't call those engines hair dryers for nothing! They sounds like they're full throttle and the things CREEPING down the runway. :) :)

Always thought the A340-500/600 were better looking though...

When I first saw this video, I wondered
why is the writing so crooked?
(most noticeable at 0:38 and 1:05)
I also wondered what kind of logo is this?
So I went on the internet only to discover....
BWIA doesn't exist anymore!

I know you meant CFM56 since the 340-200/300 use them exclusively. The 340-500/600 use the Rolls Trent 560.
