ADVANCED TO BOOST REVENUES

More performance options from engine to airframe ensuring versatility for operators.

The versatility of the A330neo is one of its greatest strengths. Capable of delivering efficiency in all sectors from short, high-cycle environments to long-haul operations, the A330 currently dominates the regional market. This efficiency is maximised via optimised options to reduce costs on the short to medium sectors, with lower take-off weights and lower thrust ratings, adapting to a variety of uses.
