  • Cancellation of Trans States Holdings Contract
    Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation Statement: Cancellation of Trans States Holdings Contract Nagoya (Japan) – October 31, 2019 – Today, Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation announced the termination of its contract with Trans States Holdings, Inc. (TSH), a privately-owned holding company for three regional airlines. After close discussions, the decision was made to cancel the contract for the Mitsubishi SpaceJet M90 – 50 firm orders with 50 options – as the variant does not meet the requirements of the United States market. Future discussions will be focused on the scope compliant SpaceJet M100 aircraft. “TSH has been a long-time proponent of our aircraft program and we look forward to continuing discussions regarding a potential order for the SpaceJet M100 product,” said Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation President Hisakazu Mizutani. “When we established our contract with TSH, the outlook on the regional market was very different. Scope clause has not relaxed as anticipated. We have since shifted our strategy to be responsive to the market realities in the U.S., in partnership with our airline customers. We are confident that the SpaceJet M100 presents us with a market-leading aircraft for North America.” In June of this year, the company introduced the Mitsubishi SpaceJet M100, the only clean-sheet regional aircraft in its category that also meets U.S. scope clause requirements. The product has received commitments for up to 115 aircraft from North American customers. Delivery of the SpaceJet M100 will build off of the certification and delivery of the SpaceJet M90, the foundational member of the product family. “The SpaceJet M100 is designed to enhance passenger satisfaction and bring more profit potential to airlines and operators around the world, including the U.S., the biggest market for regional aircraft,” said Alex Bellamy, Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation Chief Development Officer.

  • Aircraft, Defense & Space Business Plan
    1 2 3 Thank you for your introduction. My name is Keisuke Hirose, and I am the Commercial Aviation Systems Segment leader. Today, I would like to explain the business strategy of our segment. Today, I will explain the following four points. Namely, the overview of the business, the management structure, and the progress of the 2018 business plan, as well as our business policies and strategies, in that order. 4 First I would like to provide an overview of our business. In the commercial aviation systems segment, we are engaged in the commercial aircraft Tier 1 business, mainly with OEMs such as Boeing and Bombardier. They contract out the production of structure items such as wings and fuselages to us. Currently, we are helping to produce aircraft in the fields of wide body aircraft, narrow body aircraft and business jets, as shown on the screen . For wide body aircraft, we supply the composite main wing boxes for the Boeing 787, and the aft fuselage and doors for the Boeing 777, and its next generation 777X. For the narrow body aircraft, we supply the inboard flap for the Boeing 737 and further the main wings, the center‐fuselage and the center wing for the Global 5000, 6000 of Bombardier and also the main wings for the Challenger 300 of Bombardier in the field of business jets. As shown by the pie chart in the center, in terms of sales ratio, the orders from Boeing account for the majority of, and in terms of models, is highly dependent on wide body aircraft.
