SkyWest could abort MRJ order if delays worsen

摘要

Utah-based regional carrier SkyWest could cancel its order for 100 Mitsubishi Aircraft MRJ regional jets, plus 100 options, if the programme's delays worsen. "The folks at Mitsubishi have to deliver the airplane that's advertised and they need to do it in a timeframe that makes sense for us," said Brad Rich, president of SkyWest, during an earnings call on 6 November. "If that doesn't happen, we have no financial obligations or commitments to take the type."
