MONTREAL/TOKYO - Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd said on Wednesday it is holding talks to buy Bombardier Inc’s regional jet program, in a deal that would shake up the market for narrowbody jets with fewer than 100 seats.

Bombardier also confirmed that it was in discussions with Mitsubishi Heavy but did not give any details. “This has really been a Bombardier-Mitsubishi Heavy conversation,” said a source familiar with the Canadian company’s thinking. “The combination itself makes a ton of sense.” Industry sources say Airbus is looking at the Belfast plant, which uses advanced wing manufacturing technology, but would prefer to see it go to a supplier such as GKN or Spirit. Airbus declined to comment.

Mitsubishi is working to certify the MRJ, which has been delayed by several years with first customer ANA Holdings Inc now expecting delivery in 2020 rather than in 2013 as originally planned.
