Mitsubishi Aircraft Plans Europe Push, Faces Embraer

Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp., the maker of Japan’s first passenger jet, said it expects 30 percent of orders for the plane to come from Europe as it challenges Bombardier Inc. and Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica SA.

“We have a good feeling about Europe,” Hideo Egawa, president of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. unit, said in an interview in Tokyo on June 25. “A lot of airlines have shown an interest there.”
