Wide+Body



Widebody aircraft were originally intended as a compromise between customer comfort and efficiency. Profit potential soon took over, however, and airlines crammed in the seats to improve revenues. These aircraft are also very good at performing cargo duties, due to the relatively spacious interior and heavy load capability. These aircraft can usually be identified due to their significant size in relation to their narrow body counterparts and their double interior aisles.
