Cathay Group’s Love For The Airbus A330 Grows Stronger

For nearly thirty years, Cathay Pacific has operated the A330 aircraft, making it one of the most experienced operators of the type worldwide. The Cathay Group adores the mid-size widebody aeroplane so much that it has placed a fresh firm order for 30 Airbus A330-900s.

The new A330-300 aircraft will replace the older A330-300 and help the Hong Kong-based company expand operations on its high-capacity regional routes. They will also allow Cathay Group to serve longer-range destinations.

The Airbus A330-900s will be powered by the latest-gen Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines. The aircraft will have a range of up to 7,200 nautical miles (13,330 km) without stopping for a refuel. As with all Airbus aircraft, the A330-900 can operate with up to 50 per cent SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel).
