It’s almost four years late in arrival. Now, with a helping hand from bullet-train specialists, Japan is finally ready to show its first passenger jet to the world.
Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp. will unveil the regional jet at Nagoya on Oct. 18 after three delays as customers such as ANA Holdings Inc. and SkyWest Inc. await delivery. Mitsubishi is building 78-and 92-seater planes and plans to conduct its first flight by the end of June. The larger model will come out first.
