An Airbus A340-600, the world's longest airliner, arrived in Malta this morning for maintenance work at Lufthansa Technik.

The Airbus A340-600 is just over 75 metres long and can carry 372 passengers over 15,700 miles, enough for it to fly non-stop between Los Angeles and Singapore.

The aircraft currently in Malta is operated by Etihad, the fast-growing Abu Dhabi airline.
