Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp. is
looking to display its new regional aircraft at the Paris Air Show in June as it
seeks more overseas orders for Japan's first passenger jet after delaying the
plane's debut five times.
The company is working out details on how it can pull one of four aircraft currently undergoing flight testing in the U.S. for the show, without causing further delays to deliveries, said Hisakazu Mizutani, who became president of Mitsubishi Aircraft this month. The planemaker expects to come to a decision soon on whether to show the aircraft at the event, he said.
"There'd be merit in taking it to the show," Mizutani said in an interview in Tokyo on Wednesday. "We just need to make sure it doesn't affect the testing process in doing so."
