Mitsubishi Aircraft to work on a 70-seat variant of its regional jet

Paris, France - Mitsubishi Aircraft is planning to offer a 70-seat variant (M100) of its re-branded SpaceJet (formerly MRJ) to the market in 2023. The new, redesigned version of the Mitsubishi aircraft's long-delayed regional jet will have 65 to 88 seats, compared with the previously planned 90-seat version. With this smaller new design, the Japanese aircraft manufacturer targets the U.S. regional aircraft market which is dominated by the Embraer's 70-seat E175 jet. (airlinerwatch.com) المزيد...
