The A330neo is the new generation version of the popular A330 widebody. Incorporating the latest generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, new wings and a range of aerodynamic innovations, the aircraft offers a 25 percent reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The A330-900 is capable of flying 7 200 nm / 13 334 km non-stop.
At the end of November, the A330 Family had registered a total of over 1,700 firm orders of which 275 are A330neos from 24 customers.
Condor A330neo flies with Bucher Galleys
Bucher Leichtbau has been selected by Condor Flugdienst to design, certify and manufacture Galleys and Stowages for their new A330neo fleet. The first sets of the fully customized product have been shipped to Airbus Toulouse for their integration into the new A330-900. Yesterday the airline has taken delivery of the first aircraft.
Bucher is very proud to have been selected as supplier for the airline and congratulates Condor on taking delivery of the first aircraft. The cooperation was once again exemplary – the entire project team worked together efficiently to achieve the high customization and design requirements.
The Swiss-made Galleys provide the best working conditions for the crew and enable them to offer the optimal service to passengers. Another key factor in the airline's decision was the choice of reliable products with a long service life and very low maintenance costs. From the beginning of the project, the passenger experience was one of the most important topic for the airline and for the choice of supplier. Bucher was able to create this feel-good experience through a clever combination of Galleys and Stowages, illuminated branding elements and the use of Condor’s unique décor materials.
Bucher is also committed to sustainable products. Bucher Galleys are made of over 65% aluminum. After a useful life span of over 20 years these aluminum components can be fully recycled through a remelting process that only consumes 5% of the initial energy used to produce the primary aluminum. The clear ideas of Condor regarding design and custumization of the products could be realized by Bucher in the combined galley-stowage monuments, in the integrated branding elements at the galleys and in the production of a hybrid welcome area at a fully functional galley.
Quality has always been a driving force at Bucher. This can be attributed to the founder of the company, Heinrich Bucher, who was inspired by the idea of producing lightweight and reliable Galleys made out of aluminum. Bucher has continued to refine and optimize this unique lightweight construction concept. Nowadays, however, Bucher has expanded its product offering to also include composite and carbon fiber materials, thus allowing the company to easily and efficiently adapt its products to meet individual customer requirements. 70 years later Bucher continues to be a global leader in aircraft cabin interiors.
