The order follows a thorough evaluation by the airline under its mid-size widebody fleet renewal programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The newly-ordered aircraft will enable Cathay to modernise its earlier generation A330-300 fleet and expand its operations on high capacity regional routes. The aircraft will also offer flexibility to serve longer range destinations. As with all A330neo aircraft, the fleet will be powered by the latest generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2024\/07\/airbus-earns-825-million-euros-in-first-half-of-the-year-down-46.html\">Airbus earns 825 million euros in first half of the year, down 46%<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs Cathay completes the final stretch of its rebuilding journey, we are turning the page to modernisation and growth, both in terms of scope and quality.
