Airbus SE said Thursday that its A330-800 jet has received joint type certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency and the Federal Aviation Administration.

The type certificate is a significant step for the entry into service of the widebody plane this year, the European plane maker said.

"The aircraft's certification flight-test campaign was successfully performed by aircraft MSN1888, which completed the program in 370 flight test hours and 132 flights since its first flight in November 2018," it said.
