Introduction  

April 14, 2022, © Leeham News: Last week, we speculated that Airbus might decide to upgrade the present A330-200F freighter to a neo variant based on the longer -900 fuselage.

To understand how competitive it would be, we compare its economics to the 787, 767-300F, and A330-200F freighters.

Summary

• Airbus's A330-900F would be a modest upgrade project, as all bits needed are in production today.
• The result would outcompete all present midrange freighters and give a 787 freighter a match in the market.
