A similar thrust/weight ratio in the one engine out case. The 340 doesn't need so much thrust, which is why it's popular with accountants. It's ideal for long lean routes.
Is that why the production line is effectively dead? The A340-300 production has all but ceased due to lack of interest from... accountants who usually make the final buy/no buy recommendation for airlines.
