As discussed below it is likely a WAMOS wet leased A330 in full Y high density 9 abreast configuration. It may be that SV has no seating charts yet and simply re-activated its A300 seating schedule. The few A300s flying in Iran are the usual 8 abreast.

I still have PTSD when i see this plane referenced. Thai airways used to sub a terrible business class configuration of the A330 in on SE Asia routes and I would sometimes go from an angle flat seat (state of the art back then) to a business product that was as bad as most economy products.

the A300-downgrade only lasts until September. After that the A330 is back on the route with business class config.
BTW - here is a recent trip report on the A330 from TUN to JED

Thanks for the info, so lets fly from Tunis in September,

I flew 6 times since one year with the A330 Tunis «» Jeddah, ITS ONLY A 4h flight and really comfortable seat, they also updated recently the food and it was good as before it wasnt.

Its a great option to fly to Asia as you save money and earn lot of miles and XP, the only issue is always the customs in Tunis when you arrived, its mostly always a chaos as lot of people, they shout to each other, not enough custom people and no organization about the queues, last week I spent 2.30h waiting to be cleared.

Good I have a full day between my Paris-Tunis and Tunis to Asia flights ;-). But indeed, the time of landing with the 2.5 hour wait is good to know, it can be different at different times I guess.

I landed the day before as I know it can be complicated to get the transit if I fly the same day from Paris, its good to do it to avoid to miss the flight

Doesn‘t answer my question.
