Price difference between A320 VIP and A330 VIP

[1993matias]

Hi!

I'm just curious why there is a price difference of over 100 million € between the A320 Prestige and the A330-200 Prestige. The stata are almost the same, the A320 is even faster! How can it be 100 million € cheaper?

To compare, the bigger B777 VIP which is faster and has longer range than the A330 Prestige is half the price than the A330

It just seems weird...

Bump...

The A330VIP should cost the same as the standard A330, but with more range and fewer seats.
The 777VIP-BBJ should cost the same as a standard 777 etc.

Logically, yes...

And let's be frank, the 330-200 requires much more metal than the 320

The 777 is clearly much, much better in terms of range, speed and seats. Why is the A330 then more expensive?

It may have been under two different price formulas. I cannot say for certain though.
