The A330-200’s have not been touched for nearly 3 years and would need a significant amount of works to bring them upto an airworthy standard. They also require cabin refits and wi-fi instillation. There was also another A330-200 acquired before the pandemic ex-QR that was painted in EI colours but never entered service. There’s also speculation that EI are trying to source other G.E powered A330’s for lease.
