The most popular of the A340 variants, production of the A340-300 ended in 2008 after 218 examples were built, with the newer generation Airbus A350 replacing it. During its original production life cycle, the Airbus A340-300 was available only as a passenger aircraft, but after-market P2F (passenger to freighter) conversion programs for the A340-300 are now available.
