The Airbus A330neo, introduced as a cost-effective option in the long-range widebody aircraft market, has been in service since 2018. The aircraft is an updated version of the A330 and is considered less efficient over long distances compared to Boeing's 787 but offers lower purchase and integration costs for existing A330 operators. Since its launch in 2014, Airbus has received 384 orders for the A330neo, with 157 units already built.
The A330neo comes in two variants: the A330-800 and the more popular A330-900. The former has secured only 12 orders but boasts a range exceeding 8,000 nautical miles (NM), surpassing any Boeing 787 variant. The latter can fly up to 7,200 NM and remains competitive with Boeing's Dreamliner series.
Airbus lists the sale price of the A330-800 at $259.9 million and the A330-900 at $296.4 million. However, these prices are often negotiated down significantly by airlines during purchase discussions. In practice, it is common for airlines to pay less than half of these list prices.
