Airbus Industrie have succeeded in radically reducing the frequency of double FMGS failures on the A320 series aircraft; they are also addressing the problem on the A330 and A340 series.
The Airbus A330-200, which is powered by two Rolls-Royce engines, ``told the control tower about 20 minutes before landing that it probably would have to put down in the sea since it was losing fuel,'' he said.
While the Airbus A330-200, operating since 1999, was flying at a cruising altitude of 39,000 feet and was around 30 minutes from the Azores, a technical problem caused a significant loss of fuel.

It is the first Airbus freighter to be operated by the airline, and it is also the first all-cargo aeroplane that Emirates has owned outright.
The A310 is a workhorse, it just goes on and on and on, and as such it made more sense to buy a converted freighter, as there are still a lot of years left in a converted aircraft.
For Emirates, EFW also configured the A310 freighter to hold 96 inch pallets side by side, rather than the traditional 88 inch side-by-side arrangement.
