N330QT

This entry covers the individual freighter airframe registered as N330QT, an Airbus-built freighter delivered in 2012 with manufacturer's serial number 1368. The aircraft is an instance of the Airbus A330-243F series and is recorded in U.S. registry ownership as held by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE (a corporation located in Wilmington, DE, US). The registry lists limited crew/passenger accommodations (16 seats) and a main-deck pallet/container freight layout, indicating its role as a main-deck freighter rather than a passenger conversion. No separate long-term operator or base-of-operations beyond the U.S. registration and corporate trustee ownership is published in the supplied data.

This individual airframe is configured as a freighter with a main-deck pallet/container arrangement, and the registry specifically notes crew/passenger accommodations are limited to 16 seats, reflecting a primary cargo mission profile with minimal onboard passenger capacity. Avionics fit and specific equipment lists are not published in the provided data, but the A330-243F designation indicates a factory freighter configuration focused on palletized cargo throughput and long-range intercontinental sectors. Typical operations for this configuration would center on medium- to long-range cargo routes up to its published range of 4,000 nm and cruise speed of 470 kts, operating to higher-altitude airways as indicated by a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include type-specific support for the Rolls-Royce Trent 772B-60 engines and freighter structural systems typical of the A330 freighter fleet.

The Airbus A330-243F occupies a mid-to-long-range freighter niche offering substantial main-deck pallet capacity while retaining commonality with A330 passenger variants for maintenance and crew training economies. Competing models in this payload/range segment include converted widebody freighters and purpose-built freighters from other OEMs; demand tends to favor aircraft with proven engine support and common fleet logistics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe hinge on its factory freighter configuration, age since manufacture in 2012, and the continued availability of support for the ROLLS-ROYCE TRENT 772B-60 powerplants.
