Long-haul · the longer-range A330

Airbus A330-200

Two Airbus A330-200s are on order for our future long-haul services from Zurich. Each will seat 244 passengers in three cabins: Business, Economy Max and Economy.

The A330-200 is a twin-aisle aircraft, 58.82 metres long with a wingspan of 60.30 metres, powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines. It is the shorter of the two A330 versions we have ordered and the one that flies furthest, with a range of up to 13,450 kilometres. We will publish its routes once the long-haul schedule is confirmed.

The cabin will seat 244 passengers in three classes. Business has 36 seats in a 1–2–1 layout, so every seat opens directly onto an aisle. Behind it come 24 seats in Economy Max and 184 in Economy. Both are arranged 2–4–2 across two aisles, which means no seat is more than one place away from an aisle.

The A330-200 is on order and not yet in service, so it does not appear in the timetable or in the flight search. Its routes will be announced in the newsroom once the long-haul schedule is confirmed.
