TOKYO, June 5 (Reuters) - Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd 7011.T is in advanced discussions to buy Bombardier Inc's BBDb.TO CRJ aircraft programme, aviation publication Air Current reported, citing people familiar with the talks.
Bombardier had been in talks with other suitors but now is negotiating exclusively with Mitsubishi Heavy, Air Current said, adding that an announcement could come as soon as the Paris Air Show, which begins June 17, if a deal is finalised.
A Mitsubishi Heavy representative could not immediately provide comment.
