I wonder what type of A330 it is that is referred to.

Hi folks, If I missed it, help educate me. Considering this Airplane is designed to fly for up to 7hrs. Will Airbus make the humidity level match that of the long haul planes?

We don't know the details of the design yet ! I think Airbus will try to keep a high level of commonality with other A321 variants, but that's only my guess. Your suggestion would be a first for a narrowbody ...

I think so too philidor. I was unsure if there would be an answer, considering we are still learning about the XLR variant.

There was a lot of talk humidity and pressure around the 787. Quite a bit is advertisement. It depends also on choices the airlines make. Will they use a higher humidity or higher air pressure.

thanks mjoelnir , can you educate me on the difference between Higher humidity vs higher air pressure...or just point me in the right direction. Edit: did a quick internet search and realized, i was confusing the humidity with the Higher Air Pressure. thanks for bringing that up mjoelnir. i would have continued blissful of my ignorance of the difference.

Edit: did a quick internet search and realized, i was confusing the humidity with the Higher Air Pressure. thanks for bringing that up mjoelnir. i would have continued blissful of my ignorance of the difference. Humidity is the amount of water in the air, held low to reduce condensation and corrosion. Higher humidity gives a higher comfort level, up to a point. Air pressure is measured on board airplanes in the relative height over zero or sea level. A higher number gives a lower cabin pressure. The regulatory maximum equals 8000 feet over sea level. The usual maximum has been about 7000 feet for older frames. For the 787 Boeing promises a maximum of 6000 feet. The A380 and A350 also operate usually at a 6000 feet cabin pressure. That does not mean, that you can not increase the cabin pressure on an A330 for example to 6500 feet. It will increase wear and tear on the fuselage and is an airlines decision.
