The A330 has been a huge seller for Airbus.  The A330neo has not sold as well.  As an upgrade of the basic jet, it didn’t get a huge amount of interest from customers.  It has started to seek a bit better and it is basically a good jet.  It comes in two version and the A330-900 is the larger of the two and by far the more popular.  The A330-800 has not sold well at all with a few going to operators, one of which is Uganda Airlines.

For some reason, they brought one of their jets to Seattle.  It arrived on a cloudy day and didn’t leave for quite a while.  It’s departure was late at night and I didn’t even bother trying to be there but I did catch it arriving.  It certainly got a lot of attention from local photographers.  It has a bit of nice color in the livery but isn’t the most distinctive of planes.  However, I don’t know when I shall next catch an 800 so this could be it for a while for me!
