This afternoon, I saw an A340-600 in Airbus livery (-600) and the RR engines. I'm sure it wasn't an A340-200 or -300. It was parked at the international terminal with a jetway connected and next to a NW 747. Lufthansa Skychefs had a truck connected and the cargo hatch was open.
Which airline flies it? More likely, was it either a sales flight or a compatibility with the gate type flight?

Perhaps UA is taking a look at a replacement for its 747-400's?
No seriously, I think I remember reading that the launch customer (was it Canada 3000 or Sabena, I forget) went under and Airbus has been pushing these birds hard. I think LH declined for commonality reasons.

Moving to the "Airlines, Hotel" et al board, as it does not relate to mileage programs:
