This year the number of Airbus A330s converted into freighters passed the half-century mark, but that number will look meager compared to a decade from now.

As the number of in-service aircraft in the global regional aircraft fleet falls, one segment is set to overtake another.

Airbus launched the A330neo at the 2014 edition of Farnborough Airshow. A decade on, the program could secure more than the 100 gross orders it received that year.
