Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Heavy Industries and Bombardier are in talks over the potential outright acquisition or purchase of a stake in the Canadian aircraft manufacturer's regional jet programme. A deal would allow Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to resume its own regional jet project, which has suffered from delays and a lack of a customer service network for spare parts and maintenance. However, Bombardier said there is "no assurance" a deal will be struck. The companies are currently involved in a legal dispute, in which Bombardier has accused Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of obtaining confidential documents regarding aircraft certification, while Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has accused Bombardier of anti-competitive behaviour.
