CEB have 6 235t MTOW A330 while the last 2 are 240t all there A330 have 436 seats while PAL has two variant the Tri-class 309 seats and bi-class with 368 seats. PAL will probably standardized all of its A330 to 309 seats. eventually.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616539414852509228.post-49252077070721500662018-06-23T14:46:38.466+08:002018-06-23T14:46:38.466+08:00CEBs current A330 @ 436 pax can't reach HNL bu...CEBs current A330 @ 436 pax can't reach HNL but the 251t A330-900neo with the same number of seats can.<br /><br />If CEBs current A330s will be deployed to HNL it will be required to leave almost half full @ 220-250 pax.

The other long-haul route they have is SYD and soon MEL. With the A321 both CEO and NEO arriving in there fleet they can probably allocated some of there A330s to add new destinations possible choices would be either HNL or AKL.

As for middle East and Asia Pacific routes (as covered by the A330s) I am thinking of maybe additional 5 this aircrafts as they originally ordered 20 A330 but reduced it to 15.<br /><br />As for CEB, they do fly to middle East. It's plausible that CEB will consider this aircraft. If ever, I hope that they will consider an economy plus in order for lesser seats and not to be a flying match box or sardine air.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616539414852509228.post-91806104591581586822018-06-19T20:48:05.918+08:002018-06-19T20:48:05.918+08:00If I recall those PAL still need Additional A330-3...If I recall those PAL still need Additional A330-300 in its fleet since they will be used to replaced the A340-300 on Inter-Asia routes.

Only SYD and DXB fly for 8.5 hours. I doubt they'd be interested in a newer plane (A330NEO) that is LESS efficient than what they currently have (A330-300) for routes 2500nm or less. So unless they start flying to airports further than NRT from MNL again, I doubt they would be interested.<br /><br />PAL may consider this as they fly multiple routes 2500nm long or further, where the advantage of A330NEO would be more apparent. However, all of their A330s are less than five years old.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616539414852509228.post-29464007242871968092018-06-19T11:02:46.045+08:002018-06-19T11:02:46.045+08:00I don't think PAL are interested in the 787-10...I don't think PAL are interested in the 787-10 as of the moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616539414852509228.post-69979804699649589332018-06-19T10:04:11.350+08:002018-06-19T10:04:11.350+08:00Is it due to PAL being more Intrested on the Boein...Is it due to PAL being more Intrested on the Boeing 787-10 ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616539414852509228.post-45756040469187093442018-06-19T08:27:47.943+08:002018-06-19T08:27:47.943+08:00Most likely 5J will be interested.
