The A330-900 will replace the A330-300, offering greater fuel efficiency while halving the noise footprint compared with the outgoing model. Virgin hopes to debut the aircraft on its Heathrow-Boston route in October.


It has 16 A330s on order in total, with three due to be delivered this year and another in February 2023. The full run will be delivered by 2026.
