The Airbus A330neo (New Engine Option) is a widebody family re-engined with the Rolls-Royce Trent 7000, developed from the A330ceo and launched in 2014. It is offered in two variants, the shorter A330-800 and the longer, far more popular A330-900, positioned as a lower-capital-cost alternative to the Boeing 787.
Both variants share a common type rating and the Trent 7000 engine. Below, each variant is compared side by side; the rest of the page covers operators, orders and the latest A330neo news from AeroTime.
