[ATR72 (文人相輕自古皆然)]

恭喜三菱公司終於訂單進袋，
一共拿到了100架MRJ90的確認訂單及100架選擇權，
預估價值$8.4 billion。

第一架將從2017年開始交機，
若執行選擇權的話則將從2021年開始交機。

目前MRJ計畫共取得了170架確認訂單，
另外還有160架選擇權。

經過延遲後，
MRJ將於2013年第四季首航，
並計畫於2015年第三季投入商業飛行。


SkyWest firms deal for 100 MRJ90s

By:   Mavis Toh Singapore


SkyWest Airlines has firm an agreement with Mitsubishi Aircraft to purchase
100 Mitsubishi Regional Jets, with an option for an additional 100 aircraft.

The deal for the Pratt & Whitney PW1200G-powered MRJ90s comes five months
after it was first announced as an agreement in principle at the Farnborough
air show. No mention was made regarding the 100 aircraft option then.

The deal is valued at $8.4 billion at list price.

The 90-seater jets on firm order are scheduled to be delivered starting 2017.
Those on option, if firmed, could be delivered from 2021.

“The agreement sets forth respective rights and obligations that enable
Mitsubishi Aircraft and SkyWest to mutually position themselves for
opportunities in the US regional airline industry,” says Mitsubishi.

“Without a doubt, this is a major order and significant boost for the MRJ
programme,” adds its president Hideo Egawa.

The regional jets will be operated by SkyWest and ExpressJet.

The deal is a significant boost to Mitsubishi’s programme and takes its
order backlog to 170 firm orders with 160 options.

Delays have pushed the aircraft’s first flight to the fourth quarter of 2013
and its entry into service has been postponed to the third quarter of 2015.

目前SkyWest使用了非常多的CRJ700，
這批飛機確實也是非常適合的後繼機，
畢竟BBD目前全力發展CSeries，
而Embraer未來也不再發展下一代的ERJ-170-100。

不過這款飛機在台灣似乎沒有發展的空間，
70座應該會被ATR72全包，
若華信未來不再使用ERJ-190，
應該不會再有航空公司操作100座上下的飛機。
