So far, the company has received orders for 427 Mitsubishi Regional Jets (MRJ). Officials believe that Eastern Air Lines, which signed a contract with Mitsubishi in Sep. 2014, might withdraw their order for 40 aircraft. This follows news that the company that bought Eastern Airlines is planning to operate planes that are larger in size than the MRJ, which are likely to seat 70 to 90 passengers. The potential cancellation is not said to be related to Mitsubishi\u2019s decision to postpone delivery of the MRJ aircrafts for a fifth time, which has pushed back distribution to mid-2020. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/mainichi.jp\/articles\/20171216\/k00\/00m\/020\/098000c\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mainichi Shimbun<\/a>, 12\/15\/2017<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mitsubishi-mrj-jet.jpg?resize=1024%2C682\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-106168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mitsubishi-mrj-jet.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mitsubishi-mrj-jet.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mitsubishi-mrj-jet.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\nPhoto: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Category:JA21MJ_(aircraft)#\/media\/File:JA21MJ_TAKEOFF_ROLL.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CHIYODA I<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong>: Fukuoka Now posts summaries of Kyushu area related news for the benefit of those who cannot read Japanese.
