Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd.’s new regional jet, Japan’s first such aircraft, won fresh support from U.S. commuter carriers SkyWest Inc. and Trans States Holdings even as its debut was delayed by more than a year.
SkyWest and Trans States said yesterday they are in talks about a new timetable with Mitsubishi’s aviation unit, Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp., after the Nagoya, Japan-based planemaker pushed back deliveries of the 78- and 92-seat models until 2017’s second quarter from March 2016.
