Airbus Industrie A310

The Model A310 is a smaller version of the A300B4 designed in response to a demand from carriers for a smaller capacity version of the popular A300 series. The main production version was the A310-200 including the A310-200C and 200F convertible and all cargo variants. The A310-300 has an extended range of 5700miles (9175km).The later examples feature winglets. Although first entering service in 1983, the A310 series continues to remain operational with dozens of carriers worldwide.
