On 29 May 1969 French transport minister Jean Chamant and German economics minister Karl Schiller signed the agreement that launched the Airbus A300, the first twin-engine wide-body airliner, during the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget.

On 18 December 1970 Airbus Industrie was created under French law as a Groupement d'Intérêt Économique, bringing the A300's industrial partners together as one managed programme.

The Airbus A300B2-1A received its initial type certificate on 15 March 1974, clearing Airbus's first production wide-body for airline service two months before its first delivery.

Air France took delivery of the first production Airbus A300B2, msn 005 registered F-BVGA, on 10 May 1974, thirteen days before the type entered scheduled service.

On 23 May 1974 Air France began scheduled A300 operations, premiering the first twin-engine wide-body airliner on its Paris to London Heathrow trunk route with two round trips.

The improved Airbus A300-600, with an A310-style two-crew cockpit and rear fuselage, made its first flight on 8 July 1983.

The Airbus A300B4-620, first of the -600 series, received its initial type certificate on 9 March 1984, three months before entering service with Saudi Arabian Airlines.

Airbus delivered the last A300 ever built, an A300-600F freighter, to FedEx on 12 July 2007, ending a 33-year programme of 561 aircraft and the first Airbus model to be discontinued.
