Good to see the A330 notch up another order, even if it is a small one; this brings the total to 1,057, based on the numbers on the Airbus site.
One question I have is this: now that the 333 has the range to replace most 332s (the same has happened with Aer Lingus), I wonder what this means to the 332? It is noticeable that most recent orders are for A330-300Es. Can't remember when the last 332 order was (although I think it was for one of the major Chinese carriers).
Guess they will be powered by RR like the A332 that is in Service and the A333 that Swiss has!!! The A332 has Reg. HB-IQZ so might be HB-IQY ? Or even HB-JHZ ?
Any idears?
TR will follow; ZRH-DME SVO-HKT, HKT-SIN, SIN-KUL, KUL-HKT, HKT-SVO & DME-ZRH on LX, UN and AirAsia

Quoting solnabo (Reply 8): KE will get the A332HGW with longer range than current model. Anyone know when they´ll arrive to KE?
Does this increase the range enough for them to operate to the US west coast?
The 333 will look just as great in Edelweiss' livery! They have one of the greatest one's out there. Very colorful and upbeat. It definitely fits the VFR markets.
