Airbus Group NV is preparing to announce more fuel-efficient engines for its A330 jet at the Farnborough Air Show next week as it seeks to extend the popular wide-body’s lifespan, people with knowledge of the plans said.
The planemaker wants to introduce the revamped Neo model at the world’s largest aviation expo, said the people, who asked not to be identified because details are private. Airbus has lined up enough early buyers to proceed, including AirAsia Bhd and several lessors, two of the people said, though a final go-ahead requires board approval.
