Turkish President will visit France today, and it is very likely that A350 will be ordered.
Maybe wishful thinking of me, we might see also some A330neo orders

Sorry for taking off-topic, but is there substance to that? It seems plausible that an order would be made...

All I am getting at the moment is deafening silence.

Correct, although rumor has it RwandAir has agreed to take both production slots.

I always thought the A330 looked a bit silly due to the "small" engines - the Trent 1700 is a significant step-up in aesthetics.

Not sure the extent current A330 operators will need crew training flights, considering the only real difference between the A333 and A339 are the engines and some improved instrumentation.

Airbus wanted to save costs and time to market - so the Neo is a straight re-engining project plus some fine tuning of the aerodynamics. The A330-900 would have been better if they had adopted the same fuselage as the A340-500. But I suspect that weight reduction will be even more critical.
As for a A330-1000, I highly doubt it - it would be easier to further develop the A350-900 into something with better economics than a potential A330-1000.

Didn't they lately change their name from TAP Portugal to TAP Air Portugal again.
They even introduced a slightly revised livery:

compared to:
https://www.airliners.net/photo/TAP-Port ... X1o3LvI%3D
it now says Air Portugal on the tail and not TAP Portugal, other than that only the registration is now placed on a different spot and the flytap.com titles are now coloured.
But why does the tail of the new 330neo say TAP Portugal again. Does anybody have an answer on this?
