A new airline planning to launch operations out of Senai International Airport in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, has signed a letter of intent with Bombardier covering the purchase of 20 CSeries CS100s and options on another 20, the Canadian airframer announced Tuesday at Malaysia’s Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA). The new airline, called Flymojo, would become Bombardier’s first CSeries operator in Southeast Asia when it begins operations in the first quarter of 2016. Apart from its primary base at Senai, it also plans to operate a hub in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Bombardier places the value of what would become a 20-aircraft firm order at $1.47 billion.
