Product Details

• The Airbus A330-200 played a pivotal role in Emirates Airlines’ fleet from 2000 to 2016. Emirates, known for its commitment to excellence, acquired a substantial fleet of 29 A330-200 aircraft between March 1999 and September 2003. These aircraft primarily served routes within the Middle East and to India, providing passengers with a comfortable and spacious cabin experience. The A330-200’s versatility and efficiency made it a valuable asset for Emirates during this period. In 2015, Emirates announced plans to retire many of its older aircraft, including the A330-200s, as part of its efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and modernize its fleet. By 2016, the airline had phased out all A330-200s. Some aircraft returned to their owners, while others found new homes with different airlines. Despite retiring the A330-200s, Emirates continued to appreciate the A330 type. The airline later ordered 40 A330-900neos in 2019, highlighting its ongoing commitment to utilizing advanced and efficient aircraft. The A330-200s served Emirates well, flying close to 45 million kilometers over 60,000 hours before their retirement. Their legacy remains a testament to the reliability and performance of the A330 family, underscoring Emirates’ dedication to providing exceptional service to its passengers.
