According to me, the Boeing 767 Intercity and the Airbus A330 should NOT be produced together and at the same location of production, respectively... I collected a few arguments which explain my opinion:
a) both the Boeing 767 and the Airbus A330 are expected to become the most popular regional commercial aircraft because they represent the "small Ecoliner" principle, therefore these airplanes cannot be produced together, disregarded their actual production numbers,
b) the far less important Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320 should be produced together, however the design of both airplanes is very different already, such as a full-double-deck version of the Boeing 737 MAX can be expected, that is why only common parts can be imagined between the Boeing 737 MAX and the Airbus A320 (for example engines),
c) the four-engine and long-haul large aircraft Airbus A340 is based on the Airbus A330, therefore the Boeing 767 Intercity and the Airbus A330 cannot be produced at the same location of production,
d) common parts between the Boeing 767 Intercity and the Airbus A330 can be realised, for example engines, so that the "small Ecoliner" concept becomes even more popular (it is about a new generation of environmentally friendly and secure regional commercial aircraft),
e) the Boeing 767 Intercity is meant to feature many unique solutions (inner wings, observation deck with panoramic windows and 1-engine-propulsion), therefore it cannot be produced at the same location as the Airbus A330,
f) the US Navy Poseidon and AVACS aircraft types are very important developments which are based on the Boeing 767, therefore the Boeing 767 Intercity and the Airbus A330 cannot be produced together...
In the pictures: the Boeing 767 with inner wings and the Boeing 767 as a hot air balloon...
