On the A330F, I’d agree; it doesn’t hold much more than a 763.
However, the -300/900 fuselage holds 20% more containerized volume than a 763, and 10% less containerized volume than a MD, and while there is not currently a NEO freighter there is a -300P2F program developed by Airbus & ST Aerospace via EFW with conversions currently flying for DHL. Because the engineering is done, it’d be easy enough for a factory freighter from a new CEO 333 or NEO 339 given a sizable order, especially as Airbus is functionally out of the freighter marker right now and likely willing to deal on price.
...but a large order of 767s makes a LOT more business sense, especially with our incremental new orders the past couple years.
777s are about as likely IMO as a new primary hotel in CGN or scrapping the schedule optimizer.
Suppose we’ll see; either way the GROWTH the airline is doing is good!
