MRJ maiden flight pushed back over 12 months to late 2013

The first delivery of the MRJ will also be delayed over one year, falling back to the summer of 2015, from the originally planned first quarter of 2014, says Mitsubishi Aircraft in a brief statement.

The airframer says it needs to "confirm respective fabrication processes" and "provide sufficient time for technical studies."
