Lessor Aerolease Aviation cancels order for M90 SpaceJet

In October 2020, Mitsubishi announced it would pause its SpaceJet-programme for an indefinite time and now a first customer, Aerolease Aviation, has decided to cancel its order. The lessor signed a firm order for ten MRJ90s (since then rebranded to the M90 SpaceJet) in February 2016 and also took options on another ten aircraft.

The total order and commitments for the SpaceJet now stands at 207 aircraft, comprised of 15 M90s for All Nippon Airways, 100 M90s for Skywest Airlines, 32 M90s for Japan Airlines, ten M90s for lessor Rockton Aviation and 50 M100s for Mesa Airlines. If any of these customers are also planning to cancel their order is currently unknown.
