I wonder if those will be the 330R - probably - and probably in 3-3-3 seating. They cite that they dropped the 787-8 because they needed more seats. So expect this one to be packed. I still skeptical of the timeline of this airline's growth plans however. For some reason, I think they have ordered too much capacity too soon and we could expect some deferrals. |

They cite the the need to use larger aircraft to meet existing demand on domestic routes. This seems to be realistic, but how many A330s are needed ?

From XWB's link, China Southern's previous A330 premium economy configuration was pretty innovative ...  "Different from previous 3-4-3 configuration in premium economy, the new A330 wide-body aircraft has 42 premium economy class seats in 2-3-2 configuration, with the economy class seats in 2-4-2 configuration unchanged." |
