Any new order will not be delivered in the near term. The regional 777 fleet is relatively old and many of the A330s are over 20 year of age so probably much less efficient than new designs. As a complete layman I wonder if Airbus could remove part of the tankage and the crew sleeping quarters of an A350-1000 and marry it to A350-900 wings and engines to give a low seat mile cost regional plane.
