Which Airlines Currently Fly The Airbus A330neo?

TAP introduced the Airbus A330neo in late 2018, 14 months after the aircraft completed its first flight.

Airbus offers the aircraft in two primary variants, the A330-800 and the A330-900, intended to replace the existing A330ceo series.

Since its introduction, the series has had a relatively slow start, with lackluster orders overall and little interest. However, it has worked its way to accumulating several hundred orders.

Which airlines flew the Airbus A330neo in 2023?

Delta Air Lines

Delta is the largest operator of the A330-900, the most popular variant in the family so far. The U.S. carrier uses the aircraft for a range of missions worldwide.

According to the latest fleet data, Delta has 23 A330-900s in service, with one unit in storage. Additionally, the company has orders for more A330neo jets that have not yet been delivered.

These A330-900s are among the youngest in the fleet, with an average age of 2.1 years and the oldest aircraft at 4.5 years.

The A330neo has been crucial in transforming the business, growing the fleet, and modernising operations.

TAP Air Portugal

TAP is another primary operator of the A330neo series. The airline operates 19 in-service A330-900s, again sticking solely with the most popular variant.

These A330neos are the third-youngest fleet type by average age, at 4.4 years. TAP’s youngest A330neo sits at 3.9 years, and its oldest at 4.9

Condor

Condor has extensively welcomed Airbus A330neos to its fleet in recent years as it overhauls its operation and says goodbye to ageing Boeing jets.

The company currently flies 9 A330-900s, with one out of service, per Cirium. This makes it the airline’s third-largest aircraft operator, with the company intending to acquire more in the future.

Lion Air

Lion Air flies 5 Airbus A330neos in service, and, like other operators, they are all the popular A330-900 variant.

Cirium data shows the company has three A330-900s listed as in storage.

The airline still has many A330-300s in operation, with six flying. These A330-300s average an age of only 7.9 years, while the A330-900s average 3.3 years.

Cebu Pacific

Cebu Pacific currently flies 5 Airbus A330-900s as part of its commitment to the next generation of Airbus aircraft, including the A320neo family.

Cebu Pacific’s A330neos have an average age of only 1.4 years, making it one of the youngest operators of the series by average age.

Azul

Azul also flies 5 Airbus A330-900s, the same as Cebu Pacific currently, and follows the trend of selecting the A330-900 over the A330-800.

With five operational A330neos, the type averages 3.8 years in the airline’s fleet. As a result, it is the third-youngest aircraft type by average age, beaten only by the A321neo and E195-E2.

Corsair

Corsair currently operates 5 A330-900s, which average 2.3 years old.

Interestingly, the airline also flies 4 Airbus A330-300s, which average 12.3 years old. As part of the Corsair fleet, there are no other aircraft types.

Therefore, adding the A330neo is fundamental to supporting the airline’s long-term growth plans and improving efficiency.

ITA Airways

Newly launched ITA Airways has already acquired 5 A330-900s as part of its growth commitment and has a substantial number of undelivered aircraft.

ITA’s A330-900s have an average age of only 0.3 years, making them among the youngest in operation and reinforcing ITA’s position as having one of the youngest next-generation fleets.

Starlux

Starlux currently flies 4 A330-900s, with another unit on order.

The Taiwanese carrier uses the series for several kinds of missions, and the fleet averages 1.4 years old. The oldest aircraft is 1.7 years old.

Virgin Atlantic

Virgin Atlantic has recently transitioned to more fuel-efficient aircraft with the arrival of the A350 and A330neo and the retirement of the A340 and 747.

Virgin Atlantic currently flies 4 Airbus A330-900s, with these units averaging only 0.9 years old. It is one of the newest operators of the A330neo.

Garuda Indonesia

Garuda Indonesia is one of the few customers to express interest in both variants of the A330neo series.

The company currently flies 10 A330-900s, with an average age of 3.9 years. While it doesn’t operate the A330-800 yet, orders still exist.

Air Mauritius

Air Mauritius flies just 2 Airbus A330-900s, delivered in quick succession.

According to the latest data, these A330-900s average 4.5 years old. This is thanks to the youngest unit at 4.4 years and the oldest at 4.6 years.

Air Calin

Air Calin operates 2 A330-900s as part of its commitment to enhancing its network and, recently, retiring existing A330ceo jets.

These Airbus A330neos average 4.2 years old.

Iberojet

Iberojet operates a single A330-900, which averages 3.2 years old.

Kuwait Airways is the largest operator of the A330-800 so far, with four active units of the smallest variant in the series.
