If you going to replace the 767 with a heavier and higher seat capacity, the 787 makes more sense vs the A330neo….
So A330neos coming can be filed under the wishful thinking filing cabinet…
The only thing the A330 has going for it might be that Airbus wants to keep the line open and may let them go for a song, and the associated quick availability. Still seems VERY unlikely.
