The A330-900neo is a wide-body airliner manufactured by Airbus. It is an evolution of the popular A330-300 with new and improved wings and modern high-bypass engines (Rolls-Royce Trent 7000) for better fuel efficiency.

The first A330-900neo entered service on December 15, 2018 with launch partner airline TAP Portugal, it can carry up to 287 passengers with a range of 13,300 km.


This mod works independently of the FlyByWire A32NX. You don't need a copy of FBW A32NX in your Community folder.
