Japan’s All Nippon Airways (ANA) plans to purchase 15 MRJ90 aircraft from Mitsubishi Aircraft for 69.2bn yen ($758m).
The airline is expected to take delivery of the 15 MRJ90 aircraft between fiscal 2013 and 2017.
The MRJ will be the first Japanese commercial jet made since 1973, and will compete with regional jets from Canada’s Bombardier and Brazil’s Embraer.
The aircraft, which will be powered by a Pratt & Whitney engine, is designed to be about 20% more fuel efficient compared with other regional jets currently in operation.
