3 minute read Earlier this week, we took a look at where South African Airways’ various examples of the Boeing 747 ended up. The 747 was a game-changing jetliner when it first flew in the 1970s, and European manufacturer Airbus launched a similarly ground-breaking plane during this decade: the A300. SAA also operated this type, which was the world’s first-ever twin-engine widebody jet. But what became of the nine examples that SAA operated? SAA operated nine A300s between 1976 and 2001.

With the aircraft being a world first in terms of being a widebody design with just two engines, the A300 firmly placed Airbus on the map.
