Market Demand

Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation Passenger traffic is expected to be 3 times higher after 20 years. Demand for 70 to 90-seat aircraft for the next 20 years will be over 5,000 units due to the market trend of "up-sizing" from 50-seat RJs and route-transfers from mainline jets to large RJs in consequence of high fuel price and low passenger yield.
