<p>The purpose of this paper is to propose that the commercial aircraft industry shifts the location to non-metropolitan regions. Prior to World War II, many aircraft companies agglomerated in the Chubu, Kansai, and Tokyo metropolitan areas of Japan. However, Japanese aircraft companies and suppliers in these three metropolitan areas have begun to disperse into non-metropolitan areas. As the location behavior in the commercial aircraft industry depends on the production system, some prime manufacturers in the commercial aircraft industry, such as Boeing, have changed their way of ordering, in particular, with the production of the B787.</p><p>The aircraft industry has many factories in these three metropolitan regions of Japan. However some local municipalities have sought to attract aircraft suppliers. As a result, aircraft companies have been able to use some products from the regional production system located in Iida (Nagano Prefecture), Niigata, and Kanazawa (Ishikawa Prefecture). According to a case study of the Yamagata Prefecture, there were 27 aircraft industry companies in Yamagata Prefecture in March 2018. A number of small- and medium-sized companies entered the industry in Yamagata Prefecture after 2010.</p>

<p>The purpose of this paper is to make a proposal for industrial agglomeration of the commercial aircraft industry in Chubu Region. There has been many companies taken part in that industry in Aichi prefecture and Gifu prefecture which are so-called Chubu Region in the narrow sense. We have been called it industrial agglomeration of commercial aircraft industry. However locations of the Japanese aircraft companies and the suppliers do not agglomerate in Chubu Region according my survey data. In other words, locations of the factories and the suppliers depend on types of airplanes. These locations trend to decentralization for the other regions. For example, main factories of B787 and MRJ locate in Chubu Region, but some factories of B777 and B767 locate in the other regions.</p><p>Recently, Boeing has announced a new type of Commercial Aircraft, B777X. Some companies of Japanese heavy industry participate in the production of B777X.Partly, some factories for B777X chose the location in Chubu Region. On the contrary, many factories locate in the other regions except Chubu Region. Thus Chubu Region is not absolute industrial agglomeration for the Japanese Commercial Aircraft Industry now. This fact give an impact to the research of industrial location. Because Chubu Region has been thought for industrial agglomeration for the Japanese Aircraft Industry. Therefore the most important thing is to consider if Chubu Region will keep on being Industrial agglomeration in the Japanese Commercial Aircraft Industry, or if the other region will become to industrial agglomeration in it near future.</p>
