Air Mandalay Orders 6 MRJ90s

Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation has signed an Aircraft Purchase Agreement with Air Mandalay Limited (AML) for an order of six firm MRJ90 with purchase rights to an additional four MRJ90. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in 2018.

AML is the first Asian airline outside of Japan to select the MRJ.

Air Mandalay Limited (AML), a Yangon, Myanmar-based airline, currently operates three regional turboprops and is seeking to expand and enhance its fleet’s capability through the introduction of regional jets. The addition of the MRJ will provide help to drive the airline’s growth in the region.

Thus far, 325 MRJ (165 firm, 160 option) are on order, including 25 (15 firm, 10 option) from All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd., 100 (50 firm, 50 option) from Trans States Holdings, Inc., and 200 (100 firm, 100 option) from SkyWest, Inc.

By 2032, Mitsubishi Aircraft anticipates demand of about 1,000 airplanes in the expanding Asian regional jet market. This agreement will enable the company to accelerate sales efforts across the region.
