Does aussitôt que need the subjunctive?

Verbs, expressions, and conjunctions that require the French subjunctive

No, aussitôt que does not take the subjunctive:

Nous allons manger aussitôt qu'il arrivera.
We're going to eat as soon as he arrives.

Note that this conjunction is normally followed by the future, rather than the present tense.
