The Airbus A340-300 carries large Puerto Rico groups intercontinental from San Juan (SJU), seating 30 to 60 in a VIP cabin with 7,400 nautical miles of range. It flies SJU to Europe, Asia, or anywhere in the Americas nonstop with a full party. A four-engine widebody in private configuration.
Airbus built the A340-300 from 1993 as a long-range four-engine widebody; VIP conversions turn it into a flying residence for large groups. It cruises near Mach 0.82 at up to 41,000 feet.

Why the Airbus A340-300 Fits Puerto Rico
From Puerto Rico the A340-300 fits the head-of-state or large corporate group needing widebody space and intercontinental range: San Juan to any global capital nonstop. Cabin volume and four-engine range define it.
For the biggest long-haul group moves out of SJU, it carries more passengers over longer distances than any narrow-body VIP jet.
