The -200 has more range while the -300 has more capacity.

For some reason, I'm quite excited about this thing's first flight even though it's not really a new aircraft type...at least visually.  |

Also note the blue engine nacelles. This aircraft will go to Delta after certification.

Wehey! Congratulations to Airbus. I imagine that the first flight would not have been at 242T, though?  And from the above article: A very short flight test campaign.  The article also says that 11 customers have signed up for 242T versions. Apart from Delta, who else do we know? |
