Airbus A330 Specs
There are currently three main variants of the Airbus Industries A330. Two more variants are being planned at the moment and we will be adding these to the Airbus A330 Specs as shown below.
Airbus announced on 14 July 2014 that they were commencing the project for the A330neo. This will come out in two variants, the A330 800neo and the A330 900neo. The first flight is expected in mid-2016 with the first aircraft entering service in late 2017. See the specs here or a fuller story here.

Hi,
Can you please let me know what is the cargo capacity available in terms of weight if A330-300 (A333) is full with Passenger load of approximately 285 (both economy and business class).
The flying hours are between 10-11 hours.
We are facing lots of off-loading and unable to understand as on another flight from the same region but (flying hours are 8 hours) all economy with full pax load of +400 Passengers same Aircraft is uplifting +10Tons of Cargo.
Its difficult to plan how much cargo should we book to avoid off-loading.
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks
Hi Kashif,
I guess there are many factors determining how much cargo can be taken on a given day. Things like air pressure and temperature will determine how much the aircraft can safely become airborne with. These conditions are calculated individually for each mission according to those conditions. In some cases passengers are offloaded to enable the carriage of additional cargo. I experienced this in the 80s when the carriage of Kiwi fruit from Auckland to Hong Kong was popular. It was a long flight in those days for a DC10 so weight was a factor that sometimes saw passengers offloaded in favour of this perishable cargo.
So yes it depends on many factors.
Cheers Peter

Hello,
Do you know what is the takeoff distance for the A330-900 for a 8000km flight (with full pax and cargo)?
Thank you
Hi,
we don’t seem to be able to access that information yet, it seems. It is a question that doesn’t have a single answer of course. When talking of take off or indeed landing distance, there are various calculations that need to be completed for every flight. As well as the all up weight, which includes passengers, cargo and fuel, as well as the empty weight aircraft, you also need to consider the conditions.
Firstly the weather.
The weather includes conditions such as temperature. Hotter temperatures mean thinner air and less lift, so a longer take off run.
Air pressure. The lower it is the less lift and the longer the take off run.
Wind. A stronger wind down the runway means the aircraft will achieve required airspeed parameters more quickly and therefore a shorter take off run.
Air field location.
The altitude of an airfield has a big affect on take-off and landing performance. An airfield at sea level will have thicker air and therefore engine performance and wing lift are enhanced. The aircraft will attain
take-off speed more quickly and in a shorter distance. At higher altitudes performance is reduced in the thinner air and therefore longer distances are required to get airborne.
Although this might not be the answer you were after, we hope it helps. We will be updating the specs for the A330 800 neo and the A330 900 neo as details come to hand.
Cheers Peter
How long is the minimum landing and take off distancen for A330-800 neo?
Hello,
Just saying, are you sure the unit for the maximum take off weight is in kg? By looking at the numbers it looks a lot like it is in lbs.
Hi Roger,
yes, those weights are definitely Kilos.
Cheers Peter

Hey. Avid follower in your website. There is something about the A330Neo that has been stuck in my head. Even though the Boeing 777/300ER is bigger and can accomodate more passengers, don’t the A330-900 and 777 share a very similar range? And in terms of fuel efficiency, what plane would be more suitable for airlines?
What is the single engine service ceiling for an A330
Hi Alexis,
thank you for pointing that out. We have now updated the link. It seems Airbus moved the file.
