Garuda Indonesia has taken delivery of its first
Airbus A330-900.
This new generation widebody aircraft is the first of
fourteen
A330-900s ordered by the airline.
The airline currently
operates 24 A330 Family aircraft on regional and long-haul routes.
The A330-900’s increased range and enhanced economics will
contribute to Garuda Indonesia’s fleet modernisation and growth
plans, allowing the airline to launch non-stop services from
Jakarta to key destinations in Europe.
Garuda Indonesia’s
A330-900 is configured for 301 passengers in a two
class layout with 24 Business class seats and 277 in Economy.
The A330neo Family is the new generation A330, comprising two
versions: the A330-800 and A330-900.
The
A330neo is powered by Rolls-Royce’s latest-generation Trent 7000
engines and features a new wing with increased span and new A350
XWB-inspired Sharklets.
The A330neo Family aircraft shares 95
percent commonality with the previous A330s and increases range by up to
1,500nm compared to the majority of A330s in operation.
