I think that with nacelle opened it gives us a false sense that it is much bigger, but there are only 37 cm of difference in the fan diameter.
Let's wait to have a clear picture with both engines closed to compare both of them.

We observed no engine run or some movements in the last days. Surprising that we see the 1st flight with all the normal tests before

FR24 recognises it as an A339 so is recognised very well (-900 is A330neo) True. I meant there's still no matching profile for this neo yet. So it shows on map as unknown type.
