Mitsubishi MU-2 Charter Flights

Mitsubishi MU-2 Private Jet Charter Flight Information

The Mitsubishi MU-2 turbo-prop is a workhorse aircraft with a unique niche in aviation. Unlike other aircraft manufacturers that frequently redesign their fleet from the ground up, Mitsubishi found a design and has methodically refined it over the years. Design for the Mitsubishi MU-2 jet charter began in 1959. The airplane made its U.S. debut as a static display during the New York 1964 Worlds’ Fair. Since then Mitsubishi has built over 700 of the MU-2, now in its twelfth generation.

Although some pilots prefer the feel of newer aircraft, the Mitsubishi MU-2 has its fans too. In the hands of an experienced pilot familiar with this aircraft, the MU-2 is a sturdy, economical turbo-prop choice for travelers. As you approach the aircraft, you will immediately notice the unique shape. The MU-2 employs a high- wing design, giving it a speed advantage over similar-sized aircraft.

The wing placement of the MU-2 also handles turbulence better. Inside the cabin, you’ll see how Mitsubishi has created a passenger space for maximum comfort. The aircraft can carry between four and 12 passengers, depending on configuration.

Cabin amenities include:

Plush leather seating. Fly in comfort, whether you are relaxing or working.

Sound insulation. Carry on a conversation with ease over the sound of the MU-2’s powerful turbo-prop engines.
