Am I not seeing something?

 

 

Its literally the 350/787 but at a cheaper retail price

[Whatever]

people don't want it

[Zacca]

it's not good enough 

[A220]

It's not even close to the A350/787. The A350 is a whole different category, and the 787 is a clean sheet design with more efficiency and tons more range. The neo is way late for most airlines to be interested, and offers nothing new, as opposed to the 777X with more capacity and range.

Because nobody's ordered it

Well, there's quite a few reasons for this:

1. A350 is cannibalizing the sales, and if an airline can afford the A330NEO but not the A350, they probably aren't stable enough to have widebodies anyhow. The 330neo is cheaper, but it's also smaller, shorter range, and it looks worse too
2. 787 - same size as the 330neo (787-8), but it's longer range
3. 787 is also a brand-new designed is more modern, same thing with the 350

[Stevphfeniey]

Y'all are making the poor assumption that modern = always good

[Pacific]

From what I read on A.net discissions, the A330NEO seems to burn around 4% more fuel than the 787 on longer missions, and 2% on shorter ones.

A330neo is way better looking then the A350. The A350 is ugly

That's an opinion many airlines don't share.

 

 

lol but true

You crazy? The A350 is a very elegant and sleek looking aircraft!

I wouldn't go that far, 787 looks far better, but you are right to an extent

What does the 787 have that the A350 doesn't, if you say it looks better?

Engines. Wingtips aren't as forced-looking. Nose. Doesn't look like a raccoon

But the A350 is BEAUTIFUL! It's my favorite aircraft!

787 looks far more cramped too. But blame the airlines

Some comparisons as to why it might not be at the top of a lot of airlines xmas wish list.

Also blame the airlines for making the economy cabins of many 777 planes cramped as well
