Could The Airbus A330neo Become The World's Most Popular Airliner?

I believe the A330 can have a future in ultra-long haul flights. The A330 came out in the early 1990s like the 777 so that’s why I always compare the A330 to the 777.

The fact what mostly all doesnt think about is, the fact, that Airbus dont need to sell the a330neo as much as the can. Airbus develloped to beat the 787-Family...its all about to beat boeings sells and prices. And Airbus know that Boeng neuer getting the devellopment costs in. In contrast to Airbus who spend just peunuts for the devellopment of the allready existing a330 ...it doesnt matter how much Airbus sells...the costs are allready in and for now they just picking up the Orders wich would getting to Boeing and there 787. Thats the only readon why Airbus develloped the Neo...also its a really nice airplane. I like the fact to devellop some thibks cheap and without spending so much ressources.

I went on A330 900 recently. Was awesome

Delta replace the 767s with the A330-8s 😊

Do you think airbus should have cancelled a330neo and made a350-800

Next aircraft:A340NEO 😂😂😂

Great video! Sales will definitely rise..esp if 787 production doesn't increase

Well the reason why the A330 and A350 are popular is because each and every year its been improved. It will take time as many older A330s are still new😊

The NEO is more efficient, wth are you talking about?

Boeing's quality problems and rate of production on almost all of their models could really change the tide in favour of the A330 neo and Airbus in general, in the next 5-10 years...

I’d expect the A330Neo to be a slow roller kind of program. As airlines retire their older A330s and want to maintain an Airbus sub-fleet the Neo will appeal. I’d also assume that the airframe cost for the Neo is much lower than the 787, so for those airlines who won’t utilize the 787s range, the A330 might be more economical.

i think for low cost airlines, the A330neo is a flagship for widebody long haul flight. but putting this into prespective, the 787 is a clean sheet design by Boeing, whereas the A330neo was derived from the original A330 from the 90's.

I flew it on a Mauritius-KL flight and back

Cathay Pacific just ordered 30 A330-900s with options for 30 more

You see, B777X is still facing certification issues and the B787s are slow in production. So, A330neos are a better alternative.

Nope

Here The must popular Airlines....not have yet...but to come Will..

Is the wing curved and flexible?

After seeing Mr. Calhoun, CEO of Boeing, lie and deny during the investigation committee after the 737 Max fiascos, I have lost all faith in Boeing. And by the way, the fines that Boeing had to pay after those disasters were actually paid by Boeing's insurance, and so actually didn't cost a cent.
So, their deliberate cheating is actually rewarded by the system.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner operators should consider ordering the Airbus A330neos because of the delays in deliveries for the former!

I’d take the A330 interior over the 787 every time

I just love the A330neo design the aircraft looks handsome

I love the A330neo in comparison to the Dreamliner. who wouldn't like the 2-4-2 bigger seats with big overhead bins and beautiful cabins

Airlines make money when they have airplanes to fly passengers! Waiting for a 787 will mean lost opportunity. There are not other choices...it's a duopoly.

great airplane

Go A330!

Those airlines who “opted” for 787, are they still waiting for deliveries and are they wondering what another “surprise” is awaiting for them?

Boeing has a huge backlog and there is a high demand for planes. The A330 will definitely get much more costumers

The wing is solid,787 and 777-9 has flexing.

This vereo is very good.😊

None of these factors pointed out about the 787 will ever make the A330neo outsell the 787.

I will cap A330neo sales at no more than 600 before Airbus diacontinues the program. Airlines will always prefer the 787 and A350 over the A330 because of operating costs.

2-4-2 economy layout is awesome benefit for passengers. 330 neo is awesome plane.

Exactly what I thought when I heard about the 330 neo.
Time to end this “hairdryer” slander once and for all.

It is possible for A330Neo to be converted to cargo aircraft, right? How about B787?

Deliveries reduced to a trickle. By todays standards the cabin windows are small.

Sustainable fuel = turning food into fuel = killing people in the 3rd world. Drives up the price soybeans, corn. Ethanol in gasoline drove up the price of corn 800% in places ( 2000ish ) that no longer got US surplus because we are putting the surplus into our cars.

Billie Holiday : the real Soul Plane????

All Airbus has to do is wait for Boeing to have a downfall.

no...

If any airline replace their Airbus A330-200s and/or A330-300s with A350-900 XWBs and/or Boeing 787 Dreamliners, their cabin will be cramped because of the latter two's 3-3-3 configuration in Economy Class as opposed to the 2-4-2 layout for the A330neo!

I think the A330-900neo is a beautiful machine, and one of the best-looking airliners ever made. Inside, and out. She is definitely the underdog vs the Dreamliner.....right now. Hopefully you're right Simple Flying, and she will find her place in the near future. I'm forever routing for my beautiful, underdog A339!

The 330n is kinda like the 757. Other channels think it is history but th points you bring up make perfect sense. As airports get more congested airlines will need to add capacity. The quicker availability of the A330n will be one of it's best advantages.

Simple: NO.
The A330neo has a very similar problem that the 777X has so far: there are boatloads of relatively young A330ceos plus the extremely successful 787. (777X problem lots of relatively young 777-300ERs plus the slowly becoming successful A350-1000).
Both will sell a lot more at the end than they did until now, but they will both not get even close to the 787, A350.

The weakness of A330 neo is range, because if we see the 787-9 can fly up to 16 hrs with his longer range. And it seems like many airline operating 787 for 10 hrs+ flight. While the A330 neo still struggling with his range. And then the comfort, 787 have wider cabin so it's make cabin comfortable especially for crew i don't know but if so far i'm seeing 787 have proper crew rest area than A330 neo. Feel free to share your opinion ( this my amateur opinion 😀)

Why no comparison with the 350?

I think United Airlines could make good use of a couple of these aircraft especially if they were to based in Orlando !

Boeing and Airbus build great aircraft at all competing levels, yes Boeing drastically needs to sort out their bad management and attitude problems but when it comes down to it Boeing need Airbus and Airbus need Boeing. It's the competition that keeps the pot boiling!

The A310 came and went before the "middle of the market" developed. Why not shrink the A330 and address that need when 757's need to retire? Airbus will be years ahead.

I’ve heard the most sold aircraft are the ones that have resulted problematic. I still have hope that the A330neo’s chance of shining still lays ahead

Much better for couples with 2-4-2 seating. Hopefully more airlines will buy the 339. Any orders for the 800?
