The Airbus A330-800neo, despite being known for its extended range, struggles commercially due to higher operational costs and lower capacity compared to its A330-900neo counterpart. As of now, only three airlines—Air Greenland, Kuwait Airways, and Uganda Airlines—are scheduled to operate this model. With the A330-800neo set to introduce limited new routes, including a notable service from Uganda to London Gatwick starting May 2025, the total number of flights is expected to reach around 4,600, indicating a slow, yet steady expansion in its operational footprint.
Only three airlines currently operate the A330-800neo: Air Greenland, Kuwait Airways, and Uganda Airlines, with only limited routes scheduled for this underperforming model.
Despite its extended range, the Airbus A330-800neo suffers from a higher per-seat fuel burn and lower capacity, making it commercially unviable compared to the A330-900neo.
Uganda Airlines will launch new routes between Entebbe and London Gatwick on May 18, 2025, marking an important expansion for the underutilized A330-800neo.
As of 2025, the A330-800neo is expected to have around 4,600 flights scheduled, showing minor growth from previous years but still indicating limited market acceptance.
