TG-article joined Wikipedia on November 19, 2024. The first edit was on Total Linhas Aereas Flight 5682 when the short description was changed from "2024 aviation accident" to "2024 aviation accident in Brazil". There were multiple contributions created by the user, mostly on aviation-related articles. The first edit to be reverted was on November 20, on the China Airlines Flight 605 article; the number of occupants was changed to 396, the number of passengers was changed to 374, the number of injuries was changed to 23, and the number of survivors was changed to 396. The edit was reverted to a revision where the number of occupants was 296, the number of passengers was 274, the number of injuries was 10, and the number of survivors was 296. The edit was reverted as a result of the Aviation Safety Network saying that 296 people were on board, not 396. The first edit using Shortdesc helper was on December 25, 2024, when the short description of Southwest Airlines Flight 345 was changed from "2013 aviation incident in New York City, US" to "2013 aviation accident in New York City, US". This was done because of the fact that the aviation occurrence was classified as an accident, not an incident. The first edit to reach 1 million views was my edit on Jeju Air Flight 2216. It officially reached that amount of views on January 3, 2025. The 1,000th revision made on a Wikipedia page was revision 2025-01-03T19:49:12 on Swiss International Air Lines Flight 1885.
Airbus began developing larger A300 derivatives in the mid-1970s, giving rise to the A330 twinjet as well as the Airbus A340quadjet, and launched both designs along with their first orders in June 1987.
The A330-300, the first variant, took its maiden flight in November 1992 and entered service with Air Inter in January 1994. The A330-200, a shortened longer-range variant, followed in 1998 with Canada 3000 as the launch operator.
The Boeing 777X is the latest series of the long-range, wide-body, twin-engine jetliners in the Boeing 777 family from Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The changes for 777X include General Electric GE9X engines, composite wings with folding wingtips, greater cabin width and seating capacity, and technologies from the Boeing 787. The 777X was launched in November 2013 with two variants: the 777-8 and the 777-9. The 777-8 provides seating for 395 passengers and has a range of 8,745 nmi (16,196 km; 10,064 mi) while the 777-9 has seating for 426 passengers and a range of over 7,285 nmi (13,492 km; 8,383 mi).
The jetliner was designed to bridge the gap between Boeing's other wide body airplanes, the twin-engined 767 and quad-engined 747, and to replace aging DC-10 and L-1011trijets. Developed in consultation with eight major airlines, the 777 program was launched in October 1990, with an order from United Airlines. The prototype aircraft rolled out in April 1994, and first flew in June of that year. The 777 entered service with the launch operator United Airlines in June 1995. Longer-range variants were launched in 2000, and first delivered in 2004.

After dropping its unconventional Sonic Cruiser project, Boeing announced the conventional 7E7 on January 29, 2003, which focused largely on efficiency. The program was launched on April 26, 2004, with an order for 50 aircraft from All Nippon Airways (ANA), targeting a 2008 introduction.
On July 8, 2007, a prototype 787 without major operating systems was rolled out; subsequently the aircraft experienced multiple delays, until its maiden flight on December 15, 2009.
Type certification was received in August 2011, and the first 787-8 was delivered in September 2011 before entering commercial service on October 26, 2011, with ANA.
