The European Aviation Safety Agency granted type approval for the Airbus A330-200F today, following a 200-hour flight-test campaign. Airbus performed the trials with two aircraft, covering both engine types on offer: the Pratt & Whitney PW4000 and the Rolls-Royce Trent 700.

This dedicated freighter aircraft–a derivative of the A330-200 passenger model–gained certification through an amendment to the existing A330-200 EASA type certificate granted to Airbus in 1998. Airbus expects FAA type certification to follow soon.
