Just How GOOD Is The Airbus A330neo Actually?

[@MySkyranger]

The Airbus a330 neo is an awesome aircraft.

[@WingSpanDiaries]

Absolutely! The A330neo is a game-changer! 🚀✈️

The first Airbus I ever flew on was a Delta A330 CEO from SEA to ATL. I love that airplane! It's smooth and quiet and has a great interior. Since then I've been on the A321 and A321 Neo. The A330 is still my favorite just by a little. I'm looking forward to flying on new DL A330 Neo now that 30 of them are in serivce. I think they have 9 more on order. I'm glad they are finally catching on with Airlines that want to compete Internationally with a wide body instead of the A321 XLR. I would pick the A330 Neo any day over the XLR for Long Haul.

[@WingSpanDiaries]

Sounds like you’ve had some great experiences with Airbus! The A330 is definitely a smooth ride, and the Neo takes it to another level. Can’t wait for you to try it out-bet it’ll top your favorites list again! ✈️🙌

[@CrashLocoB]

I agree with you, the A330 is a super sexy aircraft, it new wings desing is so elegant and the new airsace cabin is amazing as well

[@CrashLocoB]

I just hope that all these improvements will be enough to attract new customers.

[@WingSpanDiaries]

Fingers crossed! 🤞 With all the upgrades, the A330neo has a lot to offer-let’s hope it wins over more airlines! ✈️✨

@WingSpanDiaries not a bit quite a lot actually

[@leebenjamin5790]

Nah, their stock plummeted in a rate quicker than boeing recently

[@AnetaMihaylova-d6f]

@leebenjamin5790 there is a reason for that

[@thetruthbehindplanes]

boeing has .updated 737ng software .fixed quality control rudder issues with 737 due to SUPPLIER fualt and airbus has .rudder issues with a320 due to SUPPLIER fault. so they both have rudder probs,but boeing has worked recently.......long live boeing!!!

[@pappy924]

Boeing fan boy….the a330s economy 2-4-2 is about perfect. I like the 767 better but it’s just not as efficient. If these can stay a lot cheaper than 787 and be close in efficiency it’s a winner. Would love to see some wide bodies like this domestically as having completely packed 737s 30 min apart and 14 jets in the queue are causing delays. Plus Airbus might actually deliver them this decade

[@WingSpanDiaries]

I hear you! The A330's 2-4-2 economy is definitely a sweet spot for comfort. If it stays more affordable and close in efficiency to the 787, it’s a real win! And yep, Airbus might just get them delivered sooner than Boeing these days! 😅✈️

[@thetruthbehindplanes]

[@KlausErmecke]

Airbus so far has sold 356 A330 neo airframes. Pls. do your research!

[@Jomo-x6n]

@6:38 That's an A350 not an A330!

[@WingSpanDiaries]

Whoopsi, mistakes can be made!

[@dhulon09]

Good plane , but need to think of a clean sheet model. It is old technology upgrade. To get more sales airbus needs to make a new a300 .Introduce in 2032/32. Like A350 it needs a clean sheet. A plane for 220 passes to 340. A330 200, A330 300 A 330 500. So it covers all 787 models.

[@WingSpanDiaries]

Good point! The A330neo is great, but a clean-sheet design could really push Airbus to the next level. An updated A300-style aircraft would be a game-changer in the 220-340 passenger range! ✈️🔥

[@AnetaMihaylova-d6f]

@WingSpanDiaries they don't need that . They have A330 and A350 so upgrade in A300 isn't needed at all

[@edwardwilcox6606]

No they don`t, sales are improving & order-book is filling up nicely & it`s reliable.

Facts: Boeing 787 started deliveries on September 2011 Orders 1,927 Delivered 1,146 Airbus A330neo first delivered November 2018 Orders 360 Delivered 140 Sorry Airbus fanboys, but your A330neo has a lot of catching up. Dream on...lol

After a few years, the tides will change again, but a 1500 order gap, it's already a nail in the coffin, Noone really cared about the a33n

[@benedictdesilva6677]

O dear! What a blatantly tendentious and disingenuous calculation. You've deliberately omitted the fact that the A330neo *was never intended to be the sole rival alternative* to the B787. The *three Airbus alternatives* to the *B787* as of 2024 are: ----------------------------------- 1. *A330ceo* family (current engine option) Orders 1'479 Delivered 1'470 2. *A350* family Orders 1'340 Delivered 621 3. *A330neo* (new engine option) since 2018 Orders 360 Delivered 140 ----------------------------------- Tot. *Airbus* vis-à-vis *B787* Orders 3'179 vs 1'927 Delivered 2'331 vs 1'146 -----------------------------------

[@yves2932]

If you wanted to compare apples to apples, you'd have to add A330CEO deliveries from 2011. Yet, even then its true the 787 has dominated over the A330neo, yes. You have to give Airbus though, they succesfully supressed 787 pricing by offering an alternative that cost them peanuts to develop. 787 production is barely cash flow positive, so they earn almost nothing on it. And thats true for the whole remaining order book. Boeing certainly cant afford to have any more "successes" like this. Airbus is already working on a clean sheat A320 successor program threatening to make the 737Max obsolete, which is Boeings last cashcow. Meanwhile Boeing is on the brink of bancrupcy and in no position to counter with any new program.

[@Tom-zr4xf]

It appears I have ruffled some Airbus feathers. Thankyou for pointing out the more fair comparison than @benedict. But the remainder of (some) of your comments are probably based on alot of the gossip that passes as facts online by people who seem to know exactly what is happening at Boeing.

[@Da__goat]

It isn’t a direct competitor to the 787. It is bigger, has a higher pax capacity, higher mtow, higher empty weight, higher fuel consumption, and similar performance and capacity to Airbus’ own A350. The two airframes are within a discount of cost and the A350 is superior to the A330 in every single way. Why get the A330 when the A350 does everything better and gives you dramatically more range? There just isn’t a comparison here. The A330 competes with the A350 and with the existing 777-200s. Why would an airline switch to an aircraft that is less flexible with worse field performance? It just doesn’t make any sense, and that’s why it hasn’t sold well at all, there are simply superior products.

[@carmenvalmalaartaraz8260]

A330 is not bigger than 787

[@edwardwilcox6606]

You are totally wrong! It`s a direct competitor & it`s very competitive in efficiency & performance with recent upgrades implemented & soon to be further improved. It`s price is also very attractive to airlines who are budget constrained. Sure you could argue the B787 is the better aircraft with it`s composite build & later design features, but it`s reliability has been called into question many times where A330Neo hasn`t. With decent purchase price, good reliability & excellent comfort for passengers it`s an attractive alternative to B787 & this is why it`s orders are increasing exponentially. Do your homework on this aircraft, it`s shed a fair amount of weight, it`s engines are very fuel efficient, even it`s wing angle has been improved to give B787 a hard time in the market place.

[@Da__goat]

@@Da__goat They compete at every level, if you can`t see it nothing I suggest will convince you otherwise. Why don`t Delta have any B787`s? Because they have A330Neo`s!

[@leebenjamin5790]

Given your video, my only response is that 1 the a330 neo series have significantly slower climb speed even after the enhancements according to eurocontrol, with initial climb difference having a gap of 800m per second, then you have cargo capacity, where the 339 is still underperforming compared to the 789, finally you have the range, 3000 km more range is a nail in the coffin and makes the jet a less versatile product compared to the 789 . Also look at the orders, even when boeing is under scrutiny, the dreamliner still got more orders than the 330 neo, your video just contradicts urself.

[@edwardwilcox6606]

These two are far closer than you suggest both in performance & efficiency. Price & reliability is where the A330Neo really scores.

[@leebenjamin5790]

Have you flown both and used an altitude device. The 339 I flown only took off with 1400 ft per min and the 789 did 3000ft per minute. On paper it doesn't seem much, but given a 10 hr flight, for example icn to sea, it eventually ends up with the 787 9 being 30 minutes quicker in est time, and the 339 just lags behind. And reliability wise, the 789 got 99.4 percent and the 339 got 99.2 percent. Explain how the 339 wins the 789

[@edwardwilcox6606]

@@leebenjamin5790 In typical fanboy response you cherry-pick figures that show the Boeing to be superior. I wouldn`t argue that the B787 is the better aircraft, it`s a later design in carbon with some other aspects the A330Neo can`t match. But the Neo has had some very worthwhile improvements lately which close the gap to my point that they are very close. The important point that you fail to mention is all the trouble the Boeing aircraft has had over the years having real affect on the airlines. In this respect A330Neo is trouble-free in comparison & to mind this is very attractive to airlines. Recent orders show this to be true.

[@leebenjamin5790]

@@edwardwilcox6606 still, I would recommend you to fly on both and do research before you come to a verdict, but for me it’s the 787. Only possible thing the 33N is better at is the 242 layout, if someone which is more to the plumper side of life, flying the 33N would be better, for a normal traveller like me, the 787 gives you a shorter travel time and better air quality. That’s all that matters to me. Spending 30 minutes more on any given plane per 10 hrs will just make me feel more exhausted. As a result, I am biased towards the 787. To the wider Boeing product range, I still prefer them over airbus, and when I have a choice I do choose Boeing. It is tried and proven to be better. I flown on almost every next gen type and I am safe to say Boeing did better to my body than Airbus.

[@t8polestarcyan22]

I'm not so sure about A330 Neo but in my experience a Boeing 777 (9 abreast eco) is way better than A330 Ceo.

Boeing are the masters of their own downfall, but it's the ordinary, everyday guys on the shop floor who are losing their jobs that I feel sorry for - because of the morally unfit scumbags who are occupying the Boeing boardroom. You can't really blame Airbus, Embraer or Bombardier for looking to take full advantage of the situation. Airbus make a superb product and deserve the plaudits that come their way.

Completely agree! It's tough seeing hardworking employees pay the price for poor decisions at the top. Airbus is just making the most of the situation with their great products. Can't blame them for that! ✈️👌

[@AnetaMihaylova-d6f]

@WingSpanDiaries yes exactly. Boeing got greedy and look what happened....disaster

[@yves2932]

Yet in reality Airbus is mostly sold out for the next years. And Boeings demise is affecting suppliers that produce for both OEMs. It doesnt exactly help Airbus to fix ramp up bottlenecks either when suppliers are at the brink of bancrupcy. So short term Airbus cannot take much advantage of Boeings issues.
