A330neo

Overview

The A330neo (new engine option) is an updated version of the proven A330 wide-body family, featuring Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines and new Sharklet wingtips for improved fuel efficiency and range.

In active production with two variants: A330-800neo and A330-900neo. Competes with the Boeing 787 in the mid-range wide-body market. A production quality issue on the horizontal tail plane (assembled at Getafe, Spain) nearly halted deliveries for three months in mid-2026 - zero handed over in June and July, just one in August - before Airbus said in early September the root cause was identified, the issue was isolated and unrelated to the concurrent Spain labor strike, and deliveries had resumed with no action needed on in-service aircraft.
