14 December 2012, Japan’s struggling Mitsubishi Aircraft just announced it has received its largest order ever, from a U.S. company.
Utah based Skywest is buying 100 Mitsubishi Regional Jets (MRJs), with an option to buy another 100 later.
The 100 MRJs will cost Skywest $4.2 billion USD. The planes will be delivered at least one year late, as Mitsubishi says they’re having manufacturing problems.
