With the establishment of the Europe sales office, Mitsubishi Aircraft will accelerate its sales activities of the Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ) in the European region. The new company will begin operation on May 1st, 2011.
Europe is the second largest market for regional jet aircraft, following the United States. The new regional sales base allows Mitsubishi Aircraft to conduct on-the-ground sales activities to customers without any time differences. The Europe sales office will not only cover the European but also the Middle Eastern and African markets. It will strengthen relationships with potential customers and enhance the presence of the MRJ brand to secure new orders.
“Since the opening of the business in the US sales office in November 2008, we have worked to build stronger bonds with our customers and have concluded the definitive Purchase Agreement with Trans States Holdings for the order of 100 MRJ aircraft last December,” stated Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation's president, Hideo Egawa. “We have many potential customers showing strong interest in the MRJ in the European region. We expect establishing this new sales office will greatly enhance our presence in the region, resulting in new orders. ”
