Airbus Highlights Benefits of Higher-weight A330neos
The most capable A330 ever will be an entry-level widebody that can span the Pacific basin.

Airbus is promoting the advantages of its new A330neo (the -800) and a new higher-weight version of the first A330neo, the A330-900, as it celebrates the second-best year so far for A330 sales, with orders amounting to 104 aircraft in 2019. The A330-800 has notched up two orders for a total of six aircraft, Airbus noted. It is also working on a 251-tonne version of the -800, first flight of which took place on February 28.
