Heading to Brazil at this moment, the BLUE is receiving its newest Airbus A330neo. With just over 5 years of operations, the future PR-ANC has the temporary registration number VP-CUM, from its leasing owner Avolon. The plane left yesterday (4), from Jakarta, Indonesia, heading to Johannesburg, South Africa, for a technical stop, with the scheduled landing in Confins at around 19:45 pm.
Before arriving at Azul, this A330neo (MSN 1903) operated for AirAsia X with the registration number HS-XJB.
Unlike the other A330neo and ceo that are part of Azul, the PR-ANC will have the advantage of maintaining the AirAsia X cabin standard, making the seating configuration, in theory, tighter.
For comparison purposes, Azul's current configuration has 298 seats, divided into 264 in economy and 34 in business. With the same aircraft at AirAsia
Azul expects to receive two aircraft in total from AirAsia X, which do not have in-flight entertainment at first. It is not yet known whether Azul will maintain this configuration or retrofit it to suit its current cabin configuration model.
