financing arm of General Electric [NYSE: GE], has signed a firm order for 12
highly efficient wide-body Airbus A330neos and 20 long-range single-aisle

influential lessors invest in the A321XLR and the A330neo, speaks volumes on
their global appeal, versatility and solid value as an asset. Airbus thanks
GECAS on its wise investment and endorsement of the A330neo.”
The
A330neo Family is the new generation A330, comprising two versions: the A330-800
and A330-900 sharing 99 percent commonality. It builds on the proven economics,
versatility and reliability of the A330 Family, while reducing fuel consumption
by about 25 percent per seat versus previous generation competitors and

and efficiency of the A321XLR enables operators to exploit new route
opportunities with low operating costs, a reduced environmental impact, and
provide passengers with a comfortable travel experience.
