                      Mitsubishi Regional Jet's flight to U.S. eyed for late Sept.

                      File photo shows the Mitsubishi Regional Jet, a new passenger jet being developed by Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp., returning to Nagoya airport in central Japan on Aug. 28, 2016, after its flight to the United States was aborted for a second time due to an issue with its air-conditioning system. Mitsubishi Aircraft officials said Aug. 30 that the company will likely wait until late September or later to fly the MRJ to the U.S. as it needs time to fix the system and obtain flight approval again from Russian aviation authorities, as the jet plans to make a stop at an airport in Russia.
