We highlight Hiroyuki Tatsuoka, a leader within our company who has been instrumental in developing the M90 program, implementing the Integrated Product Team (IPT) structure, and transforming the company into a world-class organization. Tatsuoka has more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing, most of which is in aerospace, including both military and commercial programs. Tatsuoka is passionate about the SpaceJet program and its foundational role in building the aerospace industry for Japan.

In an industry defined by tight turnarounds, high volume and slim margins, strong customer support is just as important to operators as the aircraft itself. Unplanned downtime or maintenance can damage their reputation, hurt dispatch reliability and affect their bottom line. After all, buying a new aircraft is a one-time event—it’s the ongoing support that ensures the aircraft is operating at its full potential.

From the introduction of the Mitsubishi SpaceJet family of aircraft, including the M100 product, to the announcement of several industry partnerships and an MOU for 15 Mitsubishi SpaceJet M100 aircraft, the 2019 Paris Air Show was a resounding success for Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation. Hear more from some of our executives about the importance of this year’s show and its impact on the organization’s future path.
