rudder Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Unless Delta or United or American swoop in with an order for 100+ CRJ airframes, I cannot see how Mitsubishi would justify the expense of setting up production. The analysis seems to be driven by the fact that Mitsubishi cannot afford further development costs for the MRJ leaving the 76 seat regional jet space to the exclusive purview of EMB.

Super 80 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 The problem with restarting the CRJ line is the appeal of the CRJ in recent years is that Bombardier was discounting it much deeper than Embraer was discounting the E-Jet. The long proposed relaunch of the Fokker 70 and 100 existed in the same catch-22, all Rekkof could bring to the table was price and there wasn't really anywhere for the program to go after a few top-up orders for existing operators and it wouldn't be all that profitable otherwise.
