The Airbus A330-300 is a landplane with 2 jet engines built by Airbus. Air-traffic control and flight-tracking sites identify it by the ICAO type code A333, while airline timetables and booking sites use the IATA code 333. It belongs to the heavy wake-turbulence category, so aircraft landing or taking off behind it must keep extra separation.
