The Airbus 300 series is both in passenger and cargo configurations depending on the model number!!! The A330 aircraft has been in service for many years, and is an extemely safe aircraft. The Birmingham Airport is located close to downtown Birmingham, but the surrounding area is not congested on the ground. Hope for the best....does not sound good!!!
The only thing they have in common is the Airbus decal.
Vastly different aircraft.
