Airbus A340-642

Hong Kong-Chek Lap Kok Int'l Airport - VHHH, China (Hong Kong)

Notes:

The world's longest airliner is due to stay in CX service for longer than initially anticipated after a 'Total-care' package was signed with Rolls Royce to maintain the Trent engines. Now an RFP has been issued for 777-300ERs and A340-600s. We will have to wait and see whether this A346 is joined by more, or removed to make way for the 777s. (Canon 10D, 100-400L IS)
