Forget the names: Mitsubishi wants its new interior to win over customers

The new name – it is now officially the SpaceJet M90 – does not really matter for the future of the MRJ. But a new interior and revised scope-compliant model might just be enough to win over customers for the manufacturer.

Mitsubishi looks to Canada for its MRJ program

If you can’t join them, buy them. Mitsubishi appears poised to do just that as Bombardier seeks to offload its CRJ regional jet product line. At least it would solve the scope clause issues.

Can Space Jet save the MRJ??

4 June 2019 By Seth Miller 4 Comments

Can a rebranding and redesign of the Mitsubishi Regional Jet to “Space Jet” restore the type’s fortunes? The market could use a competitor to shake up Embraer’s monopoly, but uncertainty and further delays are not going to help the MRJ break into the market.

Best of Farnborough 2018: Embraer’s big win

23 July 2018 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

Bigger is not always better. In the case of orders at Farnborough 2018 smaller airlines and orders are more likely to upset the industry (in a mostly good way). Embraer is party to one such order, with huge potential, even if it is not for 200 aircraft.

JetBlue Grows Up with A220 order: Big shoes (and planes) to fill

11 July 2018 By Seth Miller 2 Comments

Aircraft delivery schedule for JetBlue over the coming years.

JetBlue’s move to dump the Embraer E190 fleet in favor of the Bombardier CSeries newly branded Airbus A220 comes as a surprise only in terms of timing. And as JetBlue’s fleet evolves to include the CSeries A220 (and A321neo) a number of questions arise over the carrier’s growth plans.
