Saw D7 cabin crews are tasked to undergo cabin familiarzation on another different type or A330-300. The premium cabin will be sporting 36 flatbeds and economy class is configured in a wider more comfortable 2-4-2 seating. Seems to be more premium configured than their usual standard cabin probably a signal for return to Europe?

They will have A330-300 Leased aircraft that will fit 367 all EY seats. Probably enter service by late August.

I find it hard to believe that D7 will only have 260 seats on their A333 or A339. Even a low density seating config would mean something closer to 300 seats - that seating plan looks more like one for FSCs since it is a 2-4-2 configuration.

 

Maybe this plane will be leased on a very short term basis in this configuration and will be converted at the next C or D check. Remember their ex-AC A340s?

367 all Y seats is a very spacious configuration in a A333, D7 usually have 377 including the 12 Premium seats.

I managed to do some digging around and found some answers.

 

A330 Type 1 is actually the aircraft that was delivered to Thai Airasia X and registered as HS-XTG.

 

It currently flies only to Tokyo, maybe because of its more premium configuration. It would appear that Thai Airasia X does not want to spend money reconfiguring this plane until they have more solid plans for it. So it is flying a more premium route as the third daily flight from DMK-NRT and the fares for this flight (XJ 600/601) are a little higher.

This aircraft is ex-China Eastern Airlines painted in "Shanghai Disney Resort" special colours - so this explains the FSC configuration for now...

The reason why 367 Pax for A330 leased for MAAX just because the DOOR 3L&3R are single lane raft. So based on maximum occupance for the raft, its only can carry maximum of 367 pax.

 

If the current A330, which has 8 doors with dual lane raft, the aircraft can fit up to 440+ pax.

 

If you guys also noticed, AirAsia group now is rebranding into One AirAsia group. No more X for A330 operations. Their livery for A330 also similar with A320. No more AAX Logo.

Kinda cool configuration for the economy 2-4-2. The 2 window seats ideal for those travelling as couple on tight budget. Those can afford, would go for the Flatbed.

Those who can't afford Flatbed but are willing to spend a tad more can also enjoy the luxuries of 2-4-2 in Y on MH
