Is the A350 or A330neo better for Airlines?

[@ThomasNovLoh]

For long haul, airlines should order A350. For medium haul, airlines should order A330neo. For short haul, airlines should order A320neo.

[@DjsAviation]

Good idea!!

[@TheItsmegp46]

ThomasNovLoh Curiously, Hawaii Airlines uses the a330 from Nyc to Honolulu Hi non stop. A sizable long haul.

[@petermelia3384]

I think that the A330neo is more of a Middle of the Market sort of plane. That operates low demand long haul flights or short haul flights with high demand. The A350 is more of a Traditional long haul plane that has a long range and can carry a high number of passengers.

[@DjsAviation]

Middle market is a perfect way to describe it! Thanks for watching

[@thebravegallade731]

Meanwhile 320neo goes for short haul?

[@Ibirdball]

I think you hit the nail right on the head, it depends. The A330neo will fill the role of the 767-300ER, mid-range, 250-300 passenger routes, such as Middle East to Asia and trans-Atlantic routes. The A350 is for more long range, >300 passenger routes, such as trans-Pacific and Europe to Asia.

[@DjsAviation]

Thank you so much man! It really depends on the routes airliners are looking at operating.

[@bringmethemilkmother3798]

[@Eyob797]

The A350 is a very comfortable and great airplane. I would not be surprised if more airlines around the world orders many A350s.

[@FluppiLP]

the video isn't bad however I would recommend you use some graphics to support the things you say. Footage is nice but having footage throughout the video is just not necessary. But having a neat little table helping to visualize the things you say would be great. For example listing prices and range, advantages and disadvantages of each plane. Because all I hear is numbers which makes it hard to follow the pros and cons of each aircraft. The difference between A350 and A330 is one number and once I get to the point where you name the price or range of the A330 I've already forgotten the range of the A350 or the price. It's just too much to handle if I don't want to spend the time of watching this video serveral times. Just as a hint for the future :)

[@DjsAviation]

Thanks for the help :) I really didn’t mean for this video to be like that and quickly realise once I listened to it again just how number based it was :) since this video I have made an effort to make it less numbery and give you more time to digest the information :-) hope you have an excellent day!

[@80sfreak14]

Both are good but idk.......A350 looks more modern.

[@DjsAviation]

Thanks man, I think they both look good :)

[@80sfreak14]

I really like the nose of the A350, reminds me of a hawk. But the A330 nose is so similar to the A300, I can't decide, depends on the airlines business.

[@adamp.3739]

It's like comparing SpaceX's Falcon rocket family to the Antares family. You know which one is the more modern one.

[@echt114]

It does look more fit and less fat.

[@stephen_101]

A330 Neo + A350 could easily operate side by side. Many airlines operate 767 + 777s, and A330s + 777s. With the A350 being a good 777 replacement, Airbus would do airlines a good combo deal to keep them away from the 787 camp. Great video, keep up the good work.

[@DjsAviation]

Indeed it could! Thanks for watching :)

[@planeup__3049]

Airlines should make a 787 & A350 combo which are both best in class with superior efficiency and comfort to other aircraft, A350 is a good replacement for 777 family and 787 is a good one for the A330 family.

[@btarunr]

A330-900neo for domestic and small/mid range routes (up to 9 hours flying time) with no real competitor from Boeing; and A350-900 for long-haul (8-14 hours flying time), competes with B787-10. A330-800neo for "slim and long" routes (8-14 hours) with 250-ish pax, and a competitor to B787-8. A350-1000 is a B777-300ER competitor, and intended to replace A340-600 fleets. This makes the B787-9 a truly peerless plane. It has the capacity of an A330-900neo, but with the range of an A350-900, while being priced in-between them.

[@DjsAviation]

Absolutely spot on!

[@junioraspirin6324]

The Boeing 787-9 does not have the range of the 350. It flies maximum of 14 100ish km and even at that will have limitations of payload whereas the 350 can go 15 000 up to 17600 km with full load. Still a very efficient and marvellous aircraft tho!

[@thomas9374]

I belive the A350 is the more advanced plane, it is a good option for Longhaul and Ultralonghaul routes which are operated by flag ship carriers. I belive if you also have A330ceo in your fleet is an option, but the A330 neo is more suitable fore domestic short long haul routes or even medium haul on high demand routes in Asia.

[@DjsAviation]

Its fantastic! I think it really varies on the routes as the A330neo is more targeted at shorter routes.

[@DullesPlaneSpotter]

I love how fast your channel is growing! I had not known that the A350-800 had been cancelled.

[@DjsAviation]

Thanks mate! It sure has been. I guess it was so the A330neo could flourish.

[@gamecop1317]

At first kudos to you for making an such an interesting video! I think both variants are very different between each other, the A350-900 and -1000 are intended (especially the latter one) to compete against the very successful B777-300ER and the 777-200ER. As well as an replacement for all A340-600's, whilst the A330Neo is the in house replacement for their A330's and A340-300's as well as a direct competitor to the 787-8. In the end airlines tend to order aircrafts that suits their current fleet and I think both variants a very interesting for future orders from various carriers.

[@DjsAviation]

Thank you my friend! I think they all complement each other and serve their purposes well. With them being both very different to be honest.

[@doctorderpyduck5778]

I work for Lufthansa which highly sponsors the a319neo a320neo a321neo and Lufthansa loves the a330's and a340's the neo will be awesome for them :3

That's so cool! The A330neo is a great aircraft!

[@aviationloverexpert7435]

Rydz West How come Lufthansa don't order Boeing planes anymore? Have they become biased towards Airbus (a similar thing with United Airlines only most ordering Boeing)?

[@3storiesUp]

You can talk about the 350 being the less expensive aircraft to run .. but the unit cost of the 330 neo mitigates any saving I would think. With aggressive pricing the 330neo could be a huge seller.

Air Senegal purchased 2 A330-NEO.900 to start its mid range haul.. After reading the comments here, i rest assured we did a great bargain considering our country is the western most part of Africa on the Atlantic ocean, 6hr from Europe, 6hr from America and around 7hr from Asia...Air Senegal is the 2nd customer for the AIRBUS' newest bird after TAP Portugal, and the 1st and only in all Africa so far to operate the NEO... We purchased 2 new ATRs, prior to this, for the regional and domestic market , and counting. Things are getting better around here, and by the way, Senegal is also the launch customer worldwide for the newest military jet trainer of tcheque's WODOOCHY, with 4 new L39NG for our millitary pilot training school...Wish us good luck.!!

[@erikc1775]

Its the same story as it was when both the Boeing 767-300ER and the Boeing 777 was in production at the same time. Even though they operate in what looks like the same market segment (long haul 250+ seats) they are in fact different. The 777 is better at flying those really long haul flights while the 767 is better at doing jumps across the pond (Atlantic Ocean). Yes it has the capacity to fly longer than that, but its not as good for that as the 777. Same goes for the new A330Neo. I think it will be better at doing flight across the Atlantic and the airlines doing charter like Thomas Cook or the Tui group will sure love it too. But doing really long distance flights? No, the A350 is better for that I think. Airlines will probably have a totally different view of it all, but thats my thoughts anyway...

[@RVNspotting]

Loving this series! I think the A330-900neo is a great alternative basically for all current A330 operators that don't need the A359's range and capacity. The future of the A330-800neo doesn’t look as bright though. It is too much airplane for transatlantic ops and many airlines that need a range similar to -800neo's have already ordered 787s & A350s.

[@ASJEAviationHQ]

Tough question... out of these two, I'm leaning towards the A350, but otherwise... I have no comment. =P

[@DjsAviation]

I think it greatly depends on the airline but I love the 350!

I'm unsure because I've always been more of a Boeing person, so choosing out of two Airbus aircraft is a hard choice to make. =P

[@toucego]

TAP Air Portugal, the launch customer of the A330neo had orders for the A350 that they swapped for the A330neo. As you mention in the video TAP Air Portugal already has a big fleet of A330 therefore they went for continuity.

[@abdullabintalib4118]

.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Your editing and perhaps "cinematography" is Oscar-worthy

[@QFSAviation]

Awesome video. It's kind of confusing to discuss this topic, and you did a great job. I think the 330neo looks cooler, but the 350-9 is more economic

[@DjsAviation]

Thanks mate, was confusing to put together!

[@speedbird1598]

The A330 NEO however is far more optimized to short/medium haul routes as well...

[@aviationloverexpert7435]

Speedbird Shorter wings are better for shorter so 787 could actually better for shorter routes despite being optimised for range comparable to a350-900

[@nntflow7058]

On Shorter routes, around 3000-4000nm. A330-900neo would perform better in terms of fuel efficiency. Using A350-900/-1000 on 3000-4000nm routes wouldn't be that economical. It's mainly the wings design and the empty weight of the A350 that made it "a horrible" choice for shorter flights. Sames goes for B787-8/-9. Hence why many airlines still bought A330-300 or A330-900neo even though B787-8/-9 is around. On extremely short regional flights bellow 3000nm, B787-9 would actually be way worse compared to A330-300. Yes, the old A330-300 is better at shorter routes compared to the new B787-9.

[@therealpetergriffinyoutube2736]

If they did the a350-800 they would be almost completely ripping off Boeing 787-8 ,9 and 10 A350-800, 900 and 1000

[@DjsAviation]

They’d also risk losing out on the a330neo which was the main reason the A350-800 was dropped :)

330neo is usefull for patching up those needed extra payload and deployment 10 hour missions which Is what low cost airlines are looking for and still has a lower operating cost advantage than the a350 and it's commonality to current a330 operators. The a350 is usefull if you have yielding passengers and you really need to deploy them on premiun routes without needing to fill up the plane like an a380 and the cabin is more spacious than the a330 as well. More relax to deploy them on long haul.

One other ?: Are the winglets on the A330neo the same as A350? It appears that they have that curvature of the A350 winglet, but I can't tell if they are exactly the same. It is easy to see the difference from the old A330 winglets.

[@khumoaviator4060]

A330neo is a good fit but if an airline would want an all airbus long haul in terms of capacity I would choose A350-900 with 1000 and A330-800 if you please or just A330-900 with A350-1000 to make capacity sense.

[@DjsAviation]

Long haul suits the A350 more as you mentioned etc with maybe an A330-900 for more shorter routes that are popular.

[@thesamshk]

The a330 neo will maybe even kill the a350 program in my opinion. Firstly many airlines already fly the classic a330, which makes them loyal to the a330 family. Secondly the a350 program is new and untested, thus making a few airlines probably sceptical, where as the a330neo is the more advanced remake of the good ol' plane they've been already flying for many years.

[@DjsAviation]

Maybe! The A350 is still going strong. Maybe airlines will order both like Delta

Congrats on the quick growth of your channel. People love aviation and you've presented it very well. That said, I'm a Boeing fan, and while I do like all aircraft, I would most certainly (for my non-existent, hypothetical airline) Have a fleet of 789's and (upcoming) 778's for my ultra long haul routes and 7810's and 779's on my medium and long haul routes. I especially dislike the A350 and think that it is little more than a marketing gimmick to call it XWB (Extra Wide Body.) I would take a current generation 77W instead, which is the true wider body, and still with enough range to cover more than 90% of long haul routes that exist today. I'd also be concerned with now all new Airbus wide body aircraft to only have RR as an engine choice. Great video, friend!

[@DjsAviation]

Thank you so very much for the kind words! I think the airlines also base their decisions greatly off what their current fleet is if that makes sense. Thank you once again my friend!

[@aviationloverexpert7435]

BayAreaLen Classic I agree about Rolls Royce. They over advertise for nothing. All their engines have the ancient core of the RB 211, they often have in flight shutdowns and aren't as efficient as GE engines despite their marketing claims.

Cathay Pacific ordering a350 is the right choice. Cathay Dragon should probably order a330neo for replacing their old a330s.

[@deangreen3370]

[@DjsAviation]

Fair enough!

[@Racko.]

Both planes were made for different purposes. A330neo came out a bit too late (made to compete with the Dreamliner) and the Dreamliner is by far ahead. But a330 is a med-long haul plane while the a350 a long haul flight aircraft. Same with the 777 which is a super twin jet made for extremely long haul flights. So the a330 will make profit for airlines that want them. Same with The a350. Gr8 vid!

[@DjsAviation]

Indeed! This was asked by 6 people on a previous video which was why I made it btw :)

[@Racko.]

Dj's Aviation cool 👍

[@noashapps6390]

A larger version of the 737, both with bigger capacity and range, whilst still being smaller than thr 787, with the same range or bigger rangewould be amazing. Smaller capacity than the 787, but same or longer range.

[@DjsAviation]

I think that's going to be the 797 :)

[@noashapps6390]

Side stick's are one of my favourite things about certain aircraft.

[@Benni3]

A350-1000 has more powerful engines that the -900 but 787-9 and -10 have same engines.

[@DjsAviation]

That's awesome!

[@aviationloverexpert7435]

Ben Godenrath The engines actually have better power on the 787-10 over the -9. Otherwise Emirates wouldn't have ordered it because Tim Clarke believed it could not meet MTOW with the thrust of the -9.

[@stephenpalmer9023]

I Like both airplanes. I think the A330 neo looks better but I think the A350 is cooler

[@Alex-ve3it]

Airbus ≥ Boeing Depends on the model but mostly it’s an Airbus win.

[@RegM86]

A330 neo vs 797 will be a future rivalry.

[@VTGGT]

This is the actual difference between A330 vs A350. Domestic routes(low to mid range) vs Long haul(mid to high range) routes. not-apparently-not-domestic. If you put a A330 do long haul it will probably burn more fuel per seat than a A350 and vise versa.

[@gooner72]

I absolutely adore the A350 so I'd have one all day long...... as long as you were buying DJ.

[@NorgesSpottingchannel]

Maybe the A330Neo is coming out a little bit to late! I guess the A330 Neo is interesting for low cost airlines. And for services where a long range isn't required. Could turn out very well for TAP on flights to North and South America!

[@DjsAviation]

Quite possibly it is. Thanks for watching!

[@nntflow7058]

The main reason why A330neo comes up late is because the older A330-300 is actually extremely fuel efficient and airlines keep ordering it even in 2017, the big order are consistent, in 2017 they have 49 order for the -300 alone. On shorter routes, A330-300 is actually more fuel efficient compared to B787-9. A330neo is only there because airlines suddenly have the change of heart about A330-300. Most operators of A330ceo or A330neo is Full service airlines btw.

[@aviationloverexpert7435]

NNT Flow I thoughy that shorter wings are better for shorter routes (the a330neo has bigger wings than 787). Last year the 777 made a comeback after only 17 orders were received as demand for wide bodies was slowing. The 787-10 according to Boeing is nearly 30% more efficient than a330-300 and claims 10% better than the a350-900. While the a350-900 has the longer range it's big wing is better suited for long haul while competitor 787-10 os more efficient on 6000 to 6500nmi routes (it's range)

[@yousrichaachoua9814]

Would love to see one of these 2 in service with my country’s airlines in the future

[@locoHAWAIIANkane]

Well, Hawaiian’s order of the 330neo is recently up to question being the viable option for them. They’re now wanting to expand to Europe from HNL and OGG so if they wanted to go with that option, the 350 would be the proper choice.

[@davidtjahjadi5079]

The a330 neo will be competing with the 787... And to be precised it will be competing with 787-10. They almost have the same range, but the 787-10 can hold much more passengers. So again those airlines that require more capacity will go for 787-10, airlines that don't need the high capacity will go for the neo. Airbus fuselage/ underside belly is so huge that they protrude tremendously, even the 777-300er's are not that huge...

[@DjsAviation]

I wouldn't have thought the 787-10 but that's certainly an interesting comparison for sure.

Great video, I learned some new things. I haven't heard of this new Airbus a330, it looks awesome, they did try and make it look like the a350, which is a magnificent aircraft, and one of my favourite.

[@DjsAviation]

Cheers Dan! Greatly appreciated!

[@danchan5741]

Dj's Aviation Sure thing buddy.

[@EdgyNumber1]

Still none the wiser, although A350 may have potential for a larger three class variants on some routes, a 1100 model if you will.

[@DjsAviation]

They have talked about a -1100 aircraft :)

[@zrhaviation5574]

Interesting video mate!

[@jetlinerspottingsgn4407]

In my country, the national aviation - Vietnam Airlines has 10 Airbus A350-900 XWB aircrafts and 11 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircrafts.

[@Jamesdevil]

A mistake on the range of the A330-200 and A330-300, The 332 in-fast has a much longer range compared to the 333, is just that Qantas doesn't deploy it to its potential. The longest route the 332 does is Seattle-Hong Kong covering almost 7000 miles as deployed by Delta, something that the 333 can only dream about.

[@danielclay2503]

Nice huge like

[@DjsAviation]

Thanks bro!!

[@Eyob797]

You forgot Ethiopian AIrlines. It operates A350-900s about five of them right now, the number may grow to 25 aircrafts in the coming few years.

[@zacharynascimento3921]

Delta now has the a350-900 in service and United has the a350 on order, expected to be delivered in 2022-2027

[@jlust6660]

Seems kinda contradictory to make a330-200's fly domestic, they have a bigger range than the -300. As far as I know, most -200 operators use them more on international routes than domestic. If airlines want fuelefficient airplanes in with that range, the a350 seems a better option. Even though they are more expensive, they seem like a better long-term investment.

[@duk2k]

Wonderful content!

[@jonnairn942]

Or perhaps the Bombardier C300 for the Aussie domestic market, i hear its a wonderful plane, just ask Air Baltic, they love it!

[@DjsAviation]

I'd love that to be honest!

[@mystixo.]

A350, I chose because, it can go on long or short distances, but the problem, it will have less flight routes.

[@bluemusicnwn4828]

I like the A330neo, it looks better than the a350. On my opinion.

[@DjsAviation]

Fair enough! I think both look quite similar to be honest with the a330 being more bulky :-)

[@tatianaschipani3384]

I like a350

[@alexismorrison8366]

By the way have you ever thought that boeing or airbus should start making new A320neoF or 737maxF because if they did that would be great because whenever i go to my local airport (Perth International) i always see old 737-300F or 737-400F which seem to be really outdated now and if thay do then they could be much more efficient and use less fuel and be easier to fly for pilots

[@gunthertoastbrot3738]

I think, the A330 is ideal on medium haul to short long haul high demand routes, like coast to coast in the US or Tokyo to Singapore!

[@airplaneengine1900]

i really liked their A310. it was a beautiful plane with big fuselage

[@ronparrish6666]

310 300 330 same width 350 is one seat wider

[@taxfraudpro]

It's hard to decide. But I think it's better to buy the a330NEO. A330 was known for buttery landings.

[@turbotroll8605]

Like every aircraft, it depends how you plan to use them. Many of the big airlines will use both but on different routes

[@-alien-2057]

You forgot Lufthansa, they are also operating A350

[@ernestosalinas8231]

Personally, the A-330 NEO looks like a very good option for any Airline.

[@superbigwhiteshark01]

Good comparisons but you should have put some tables with figures to be more "visually visible"

[@sethguardado8178]

Why is the a350 called the “xtra wide body”? There’s a lot more planes that have a wider body

[@DjsAviation]

No clue!

[@pdmusic1030]

because it was planned as an improvement for the A330 and then re-designed and fitted with a wider fuselage than the A330

[@pasoundman]

No joke here but in truth the answer is BOTH depending on the route. To understand why you have to look at the history of the A350's development and several other factors, namely ETOPS, advanced engine developments, the issue over hub/spoke operation and direct point to point flights and the increasing use of (lighter) composite materials in airframes. Firstly, ETOPS is now so well advanced that SOME twin engined aircraft can fly for up to 6 hours under ETOPS i.e. over water before needing a diversion airport for emergencies.That means that MOST routes can be flown ETOPS. Secondly, modern engines may be around 15% more fuel efficient than their predecessors due to a number of technical advances. Thirdly the change in operations to increased point to point direct flights increases the need for medium high capacity long haul aircraft. Lastly, it needs a new plane design to make best use of composites. Long ago, Airbus were approached with an interest in a new aircraft of A330 class with enhanced range. They initially offered a new A330 version but it wasn't widely liked. Eventually they were persuaded to make the A350, a totally new aircraft. Designed for long haul with medium to largish capacity it looks to be a winner. Airbus didn't forget the A330 though and, borrowing some 5% of parts designed for both the A380 and A350, plus more efficient engines they were able to create the A330neo at a bargain price, about 25% less than the 'equivalent' A350 but with more limited range. So the A330neo will attract medium haul operators and the A350XWB, longer haul operators. Take your pick. Airbus really pulled a rabbit out of the hat here. Together with their now majority interest in the Bombardier C-series programme, they have a really attractive product line. Now consider the remaining quad jets that are selling slowly, the A380 and the B747-8.

[@tralston4575]

I vote for a330 neo

[@decapitanfluffy9634]

The reason why Airlines you said "stay loyal" is not because they love the airplane. It is actually a logical choice to make. It decreases the cost of training pilots as well as employees with working a certain type of plane. It also decreases the human error as well as time. Time is money after all. For example A330, it would be a logical choice to opt for the A350 or A330neo. Since it will replace the current existing routes of the old A330(what im saying is range will not be a problem). As well as capacity isn't a problem, plus the A350 they say has "airbus commonality" in the cockpit so it is easy to learn. There will always be empty seats and it won't be guaranteed for an Airplane to fill up all the time.(Hence this is why they schedule the flights cautiously, for example the frequent amount of flights per week(talking about roundtrips as well.) It is to ensure that the plane isn't losing money(saves fuel costs). When they say that a plane that isn't flying is losing money, thats not true since you have to consider the fact about how many passengers as well as fuel and maintenance costs. It also decreases the wear rate of the plane(saving maintenance costs. However this isn't always the case)

[@tonyliu1264]

Nice video

[@DjsAviation]

Thanks Tony!!

[@AROWAYPlaysiscool]

I just love this plane

[@Szarko32c]

Can we compare it? A330 neo is a competition for 787-8 and 787-9, A350 is a competition for 787-10 and 777-8. Many airline will operate both 787 and 777X. Delta both A330neo and A350. Most airlines will stick to single type - like only A350-900 or only 787-9.

[@echt114]

Rather than comparing all the variants I think it would be better to concentrate on where these models come closest to each other: the A330-900 & A350-900. For me it's hard to see why any airline would choose the 330 in that case.

[@StarAllianceMan]

Quality video, enjoyed very much!
