When the real life numbers from the operators will be known more will come for sure. There is a LOT of ooooold A330 which will need to go, and those are waiting....for the real life results, cost of operation, reliability of new engines, etc. The last experience with new engines - overall is to be polite "not too good"

A backlog of almost 5 years, yes ... But some lessors still have to find customers for part of the frames they have on order, and Air Asia will not take 100 A330s in five years.

58 firm orders for the A350 so far this year. This aircraft hasn't been generating a lot of buzz lately as much as the other types such as the A330 and the single aisles, but nice to see it quietly pull in more orders.

Yes, but sales of A330 are still ongoing and if Airbus adds 20 to 40 orders a year, their would not be any problem. The A330 should be expected to taper off some day. Deliveries from the 34 frames AirAsia X order will start in 2019, so that order helps to fill out some early slots. So we perhaps do not see a reduction in the production rate next year. Historically there was one bad year in the last 10 years for the A330, 2017 with only 21 orders. This year there are already 42 net orders and a big part of the year left. We should also expect some of the MOU/LOI to be firmed this year.

Also do not forget the airlines know they can get the A330 relatively fast - so there is no need to "stay in the Line" for years and pay early down-payment etc.....
