Long-haul · the larger A330
Airbus A330-300
Two Airbus A330-300s are on order alongside the A330-200. The longer fuselage makes room for 272 passengers in Business, Economy Max and Economy.
At 63.66 metres, the A330-300 is nearly five metres longer than the A330-200 and uses the same wing and the same two Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines. The extra length is given over to the cabin, in exchange for a shorter range of up to 11,750 kilometres. We will publish its routes once the long-haul schedule is confirmed.
The cabin will seat 272 passengers in three classes. Business has 48 seats in a 1–2–1 layout, so every seat opens directly onto an aisle. Behind it come 32 seats in Economy Max and 192 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 A330-300 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.
