Anyone got information on A330 deliveries this month ? I was wondering what the annual total was. As at end of December it was 93.

I believe you meant 'at the end of November'.

Seems that contractual delivery was on December 31.

I did some research on the A330. Apparently the A330-300 was launched with only 3,900 nm design range. Call it a crippled aircraft. Today's models have 56% more range, a pretty amazing achievement.  |

Great find. 3900NM is like, what, A320neoLR range?  I think the most amazing thing about the A330 is how the aircraft itself did not have to undergo major upgrades like what was needed for most other aircraft. After all the continuous improvements that made it possible, the aircraft is still largely the same. |

I'm surprised they didn't flew it to storage earlier.

Yes, but in Airbus Order & delivery file you can see that on last 2 days of 2014 they deliver 2 A330 for Afriqiah, 1 A330 for Libyan and 3 A33o for Avianca. Strange
