Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) has confirmed that the launch of its A330neo aircraft will not happen before 2018, reports Flightglobal. Flight tests with the Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engine aboard will take place at the end of summer 2017.
Launch operator TAP Portugal indicated in December 2016 that a delay was likely. Chief Executive Fernando Pinto said then that TAP expected to take delivery of the first of its fourteen A330-900neo in the first quarter of 2018.
The holdups are due to development delays on the side of Rolls-Royce.
