Description

The great success of the A330 family prompted Boeing to develop the 787, among other things. While the completely new A350 family was being developed, the decision was also made to modernize the previous A330. In addition to the A330-900neo as the direct successor to the A330-300, Airbus also offers the shorter but more powerful -800 variant with a range of up to 15,000 kilometers as the successor to the A330-200, albeit with less success than its longer sister model.
