On 24 August 2001, an Airbus A330-200 on a flight from Toronto to Lisbon operated by Air Transat experienced complete fuel exhaustion. After a flameout of the both engines, the crew diverted the flight, making a successful glide of 65 NM from FL 345 to land on alternate aerodrome Lajes Air Force Base.
