CX A330 fleet.

[VR-HDB]

Are there 21 or 23 A330s in the CX fleet.

On the website it gives 21, but in the 2004 interim report there are 23 in the fleet with a further 6 on order (delivery '05-'07).


Another quick question while I'm at it; what is the (underfloor) cargo capacity in tonnes/volume of the passenger B744? One of the advantages of the A346 is supposed to be increased cargo capacity - is that mainly increased volume when comparing to the B744?

for underfloor capacity by volume, it seems b777-300 carries more pallets than b744. for a346, the underfloor crew bunk taken up quite some space...
