The probability that this will happen since Farnborough was 99.9999999999 %  I did expected they will took some 800 and some 900 - but OK. |

So the old one is taking the new one's business away and we applaud it? Hm.
How about better taking competitor's business and not signed orders from within your own company?

So the old one is taking the new one's business away and we applaud it? Hm. How about better taking competitor's business and not signed orders from within your own company? As Airbus does not intend to build the -800, the best that could be hoped for is a replacement by another Airbus widebody. The customer chose the type matching its requirements (A330neo) over a more risky upgauge (A359). From a broader perspective, Airbus has not to fear an extensive A350 cannibalisation by the A330neo (the aircraft are different in size and range). Airbus lacks available A350 slots, and you can therefore get an A330neo earlier than an A359 or A35010. The A330neo will help customers to wait for A350s. It will also allow Airbus to deliver about 20 widebodies per month around 2020 (10 A350s, 8 A330s (?), 2 or 3 A380s). As regards new customers, there will be plenty of them but, as Leahy stated, airlines need more time than lessors to move. Airbus will offer existing A330 operators a choice of keeping the same aircraft size with improved economics (A330neo) or upgauging to the A359 with a longer range and larger capacity and revenue potential, as well as higher trip costs but better CASK/CASM if the plane is full. Both types can easily be combined in the same operation, which is a strong selling point. |

This is in reference to this post by Jkkw. It's quite early and I think the final rendering of how it will eventually look like is still being worked out. So, like the early A350XWB renderings, we are going to see several iterations as we go on. But for starters, here are two pictures to compare the current A330 with the new neo.   The most obvious differences are the wingtips and the larger size of the engines. Also note the reduced size of the flap track fairings on the neo - an aerodynamics tweak. Does anyone see anything else? We'll see if the black cockpit window frame sticks in future renderings. I don't mind it.  It's official!!!! Delta orders 25 A330-900neo & 25 A350-900XWB. The A350-900XWB is schedule to be delivery in 2017 and also, A330-900neo is schedule to be delivery in 2019. Here is the official release: finance.yahoo.com/news/delta-adds-a350-900-a330-203100617.html |
