Airbus delivers first A330-900 widebody aircraft to German carrier

A German airline has taken delivery of its first A330-900 widebody aircraft.

Condor Flugdienst GmbH has ordered 16 A330neo aircraft, which will replace previous generation aircraft in its fleet to reduce Condor’s operating costs as well as fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 25%.

Wings for all Airbus commercial aircraft are made at the group’s Broughton manufacturing plant, near Chester, which employs around 5,000 staff.

Condor’s A330neo will accommodate 310 passengers, featuring 30 seats in Business, 64 seats in Premium Economy and 216 seats in Economy class.

The A330neo (new engine option) features the award-winning Airspace cabin, providing passengers with a high level of comfort, ambience and design.

This includes offering more personal space, larger overhead bins, a new lighting system, and the ability to offer the latest in-flight entertainment systems and full connectivity.

As with all Airbus aircraft, the A330neo also features a state-of-the-art cabin air system ensuring a clean and safe environment during the flight.

Condor selected in July 2022 the A320neo family to modernise its Single-Aisle-fleet. By operating the A320neo and A330neo aircraft side by side, Condor will benefit from the commonality economics these two aircraft families offer.

The A330neo is the new generation version of the popular A330 widebody.

Incorporating the latest generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, new wings and a range of aerodynamic innovations, the aircraft offers a 25% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The A330-900 is capable of flying 7,200 nautical miles/13,334 km, non-stop.

At the end of November, the A330 family had registered a total of more than 1,700 firm orders, of which 275 are A330neos, from 24 customers.
