EDGE

777X twin-engine economics offer 20–25% lower fuel burn per seat than the four-engine A380, with superior point-to-point flexibility beyond congested hub airports

VSAirbus A330-900neo
THEM

The Airbus A330-900neo is the largest variant of the A330neo family, seating 287–440 passengers with Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, targeting medium-to-long-haul routes where lower capacity than the A350 or 777X is appropriate.

EDGE

777-9 offers greater range and capacity for airlines that need the economics of a true ultra-long-haul flagship rather than a mid-sized widebody
