I got my first taste of the Airbus A330 very early on in 2006 when Jet Airways bought these to India. One of my earliest memories was standing on the tarmac, on a hot Delhi summer day and doing a transponder wiring modification.
I remember being awed by the cockpit layout and the advanced troubleshooting capabilities of the airplane.
The A330s remained a big part of the fleet at Qatar Airways too, even making a comeback post COVID.
Now years later, I get to reconnect with it's new avatar, the A330NEO.
After the A350, it doesn't seem as WOW now (No, I don't mean Weight on Wheel 😊) but this article (link on comments) summarises beautifully the enhancements that the A330 NEO brings to the classic workhorse, many inspired by the advanced designs of the A350.
I realise more now as well that it's unfair to compare it to the A350. It's only fair that we see the benefits it brings as compared to the A330CEO.
A mistake we do in life as well. Our only competition is our past self. Our only aspiration, is our future self.
Theodore Roosvelt famously said " Comparison is the thief of Joy"
PS: Love that my favorite "eyeliner" from the A350 is also now showcased on the A330 NEO as well. 😀
