The directory these files live in doesn't allow file listing so I haven't figured out what the URL for the A340 is yet (no, it's not AC_A340.pdf) but the rest of these are working at the moment.

the airbus ones have been downloadable for a long time, certainly 2+ years for the a380 one.
i just think they were not advertised/linked on the corporate page hence they were not easy to find for "nonprofessionals"

I've got them all, so if you can't find and you want it just drop me an email and I'll send it across. I seem to remember that there is one for the A342/3 and another one for A345/6.
I wonder where one can get the same for the Ilyushin, Tupolev and Antonov's.... I recall having requested some info to Antonov long time ago for work purposes and they took 2 months to reply and the only thing I've got was a 3 page fax with basic info... so at least A, B and E are better in providing info about their aircraft. Surely if A was as open as B we wouldn't have had so many Anet topics wondering about the great A380 TO performance!
Unlike the Boeing ones, they are updated, if you look at the 777 document for example, it still has preliminary range/payload data in it, no 777F data, and the 787 has no range/payload data either.
