The Jordanian government's Airbus A340-600 has broken cover. The aircraft, serial number 924 FWWCP, was pictured in late August following flight testing at the airframer's Toulouse base. The widebody airliner will replace the kingdom's A340-200 (s/n 009) and will be used for VIP transport. Entry into service could take up to two years depending on the aircraft's interior specification.
