Regional Jet Revival Drives Demand For Years
MHIRJ Aviation’s maintenance business is experiencing a surge in demand due to the return of CRJ regional jets to service, a trend the company expects to continue for years. According to Ross Mitchell, senior vice-president of strategy and business development, the lack of suitable replacements for the ageing passenger aircraft will drive demand. The company has stopped maintaining Embraer 145s to focus on CRJ maintenance and aims to double its component repair and overhaul services over two years. This development was reported by FlightGlobal.
