Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation
Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation (三菱航空機株式会社 Mitsubishi Kōkūki Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese company dedicated to the development, production, sales and support of the Mitsubishi Regional Jet passenger airliner. The manufacturing of the aircraft is carried out by parent company Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI).[1]
MAC was established on April 1, 2008. MHI controls the company with a 64% shareholding. Toyota Motor Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation each own 10% shares; other shareholders include Sumitomo Corporation and Mitsui & Co.[1]
MAC is headquartered at Nagoya Airfield in Komaki in Aichi Prefecture, adjacent to the MRJ production facilities.[2] It has branch offices in Nagoya and Tokyo which are co-located with MHI offices. MAC has overseas subsidiaries based in Amsterdam and in Plano, Texas.[1]
CEO Teruaki Kawai has indicated that the company will not produce aircraft larger than the MRJ, as MHI is a major supplier to Boeing (including manufacturing wings for the Boeing 787), and the group generally lacks the capability to compete with Airbus and Boeing.[3]
