With this aircraft, Azul completes three Airbus A330-900neo aircraft in its fleet. The total order is for five A330neo aircraft, with the pink A330neo expected to be delivered in the coming weeks.

Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, the A330neo is offered to airlines in two versions, the A330-800neo and the A330-900neo.
Rolls-Royce's Trent 7000 is the only engine available for the A330neo, with twice the by ratio of the Trent 700 powering the A330ceo, Rolls-Royce said the Trent 7000 reduces fuel consumption by up to 10%, with all the changes, the reduction should be 15% compared to the previous generation.
The A330neo is also equipped with Airbus' new Air Space interior, prepared exclusively for this new generation of A330neo.
