A new Malaysian airline, flymojo, has signed a
Letter of Intent (LOI) with Bombardier for the purchase of 20
CS100 aircraft with options for an additional 20 CS100 aircraft.
Upon execution of a firm purchase
agreement, flymojo is expected to become the first customer and
operator of the CS100 aircraft in the region.
Based on the list price of the CS100 aircraft, a
firm order would be valued at approximately US$1.47 billion, and
could increase to US$2.94 billion, should flymojo exercise all its
options.
“With flymojo’s primary hub at Senai
International Airport, Johor and secondary hub in Kota Kinabalu,
Sabah, the airline’s ultra-modern fleet of CS100 aircraft will
play a key role in improving connectivity between the Peninsula
and Sabah and Sarawak, as well as other parts of the region,” said
Deputy Minister of Transport, Aziz Kaprawi. “As the only airline utilizing the Southern Corridor as its
headquarters, flymojo will transform Senai into a key regional aviation and logistics hub - augmenting the government’s
initiatives in developing Iskandar Malaysia and the Southern
Corridor. Further strengthening Kota Kinabalu’s standing as a
gateway into Malaysia, flymojo will also boost tourism into Sabah
and Sarawak.”
