I'm mostly curious as to what advantages the A350 would offer over the A330neo. The A350 has longer legs and its advantage with fuel efficiency increases as flight distance increases, but Air Transat is mostly doing Eastern Canada to Europe flying. That's stuff that a narrowbody aircraft can do these days. Hardly pushing the edges of distance there.
For Transat's network, the A330neo offers a pretty good package. The A350 seems more expensive for marginal benefit.
