At this rate, the 1000th A330 will be delivered in June. It would be difficult to sustain this rate with a build rate of 10 a month. We have seen 39 A330 including April this year, of 40 according to built rate. If we think about 20 to 21 in May and June, Airbus would reach 1.000 delivered A330 in July. 977 + 21 = 998.

Airbus has many reasons to churn out as many A330s as they can in 2013 and 2014.
One of them is of course to take advantage of the existing window of opportunity for more A330 sales, linked to market needs and B787 delays.
I believe there is another major reason.
Airbus is facing some cashflow/cash position issues related to the demands of the A350 program. With an increasing production, with the first deliveries to be made in H2 2014 only, and with an expected further FAL ramp up in 2015, Airbus is building a lot of inventory which should weigh on EADS 2013 and 2014 financial statements.
At the same time, A380 deliveries are slowing down this year (from 30 in 2012 to 25 in 20103), while an effort to ramp up 2014 production is under way, increasing cash outflows.
Financial analysts, wary of an uncontrolled cash burning, are taking a close look at the numbers as they are released.
The A330 production ramp up helps to alleviate financial markets concerns, and to take Airbus through this difficult - at least from a financial angle - period.
The same applies to A320 production, except that Airbus has already stated that production is mainly constrained by supply chain issues.

After a slow start due to A380 wing cracks and 787 battery problems, it looks as though 2013 could again be a record year for Widebody deliveries.
To date, after 4 months, we have ;
747 - 6 767 - 5 777 - 30 787 - 1
Boeing total 42 ( I understand there are 20+ 787s awaiting delivery )
A330 - 39 A380 - 4
Airbus total 43
Industry total 85
Current records for a calendar year, mostly set in 2012, could all be under threat when 787 deliveries resume and A380 gets back to 2+ per month. Both the 777 and the A330 look set for record years.
Industry total 319 - 2012
Supplier total 186 - Boeing in 1986 and 2012
Boeing total 186 in 1986 and 2012
Airbus total 133 in 2012
Industry model A330 101 in 2012
Being model 747 92 in 1970
Airbus model A330 101 in 2012

I tend to agree. A330 and 777 production rates are are historical high and the 787 production rate is now at 7 frames per month. However, there will be less A380 and 747 deliveries too.
