They are not in the production list yet. I would say it's going to be a surprise if we see one next year.

If so, the why EVA is still taking -302 deliveries instead of -303s? Just asking

This was already asked and covered in replies #1127, 1128, 1131 and 1132 on page 23. So you and others don't keep repeating the same questions about future deliveries, why don't you bookmark this:

the second gives the engine type, P&W, GE or RR and the third the engine version, most often what thrust level.

So China Southern reverted to RR instead of PW... Quite a blow for PW. The A330 was the rare segment where PW was still present on the widebody market.
PM wrote:China Southern's first 14 A330s (a mixture of -200s and -300s) built between 2005 and 2008 had RR.
For follow-up orders they switched to PW. It was rumoured at the time that even PW were surprised about this. These 26 planes were built between 2010 and 2017.
Then in October 2015 (two years ago) they switched back to RR for their (final?) ten A330s.
So, 24 x RR and 26 x PW.
Every other new-build that has gone to China has had RR. GE haven't gained a single order.

Airbus is aiming to fly the first Beluga XL outsize transport in the third quarter of 2018, and achieve power-on before the end of this year.
It will undertake a 10-month flight-test campaign before entering service with the company's specialist Airbus Transport International arm.

-302 has 80E1-A4 engine. Interesting BR taking the A333 with the A4 when their previous A332 were the A3 higher powered ones.
