The first Airbus A330-200F underwent rejected takeoff testing today ahead of its scheduled 5 November maiden flight.

The RTO tests, which took place at the European airframer's Toulouse facility, were part of a final series of checkouts on the aircraft's brakes and thrust reversers.

Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways will take delivery of its first A330-200F in the third quarter of 2010.

Airbus holds 67 firm orders from nine customers for the new freighter.
