Quoting PM (Reply 4): Of ILFC's customers, I think only Cathay have that many RR A333s. I find it hard to believe that this is the source.
Well, Dragonair already started to dispose of some of their RR-powered A330s. B-HYE left Dragonair for Air Transat in 2009, B-HYD followed in 2011 and B-HYF is now also in TS colors. If Airfleets is correct, many of them are ILFC frames.
From B-HYF, Dragonairs frames are A330-343s (with the newer Trent 700 772B/C-60). Are these 233t-capable?

Quoting raggi (Reply 9):
Don't forget that their new 332s coming along will be GE, so I don't think any used or new 333 would absolutely positively have to be Rollers.
Except that it's explicitly mentioned in the article:
Quote: These aircraft are the same model as those that AirAsia X purchased directly from Airbus, with Rolls Royce Trent 700 engines and a Maximum Take-Off Weight of 233 tons.

Would be surprised if the 332 ever make it on property.
ok, my bad, I agree with y'all after reading the article properly.
In light of your posts it looks like they'll eventually have an all RR 300 A330 fleet, which makes sense after giving up on longhaul.

Indeed. 6 aircraft are coming off lease. 3 in 2012 and 3 in 2013.

Hmm, last month 9M-XXI (c/n 1321) was not taken up and is now going to Hongkong Jet as VP-CBE and now AirAsia X announces additional A330's? Strange...

I understand they will soon get 2x regional configured 333 from CX, and another 2x from... not sure. So it means they will just be replaced by 4x 333 ?

Per JP fleets HLB/C/E are 212K, all other KA A333 are 205K including all 6 ILFC leased birds.But its possible they are built to 233K standard but certified for lower weights for KA.
