flymojo
flymojo is a planned regional airline owned by Government of Malaysia and managed by Fly Mojo Sdn Bhd. The new carrier, announced in 2015, will be based out of Senai International Airport, Johor and a secondary hub at Kota Kinabalu International Airport, Sabah.[1]
History
On 17 March 2015, the Government of Malaysia announced a formation of 'value carrier' at Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) 2015, targeting the ASEAN travel market and the surrounding region. The airline was originally planned to commence operations in October 2015, but this plan has been put on hold due to financing issues and delays in Bombardier's CSeries program. [2][3]
According to Deputy Transport Minister, Aziz Kaprawi, Flymojo will improve connectivity between Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah and Sarawak. Positioning its hub in Senai International Airport will help to transform the airport into a key regional aviation and logistics hub. It also will play a key role in developing Iskandar Malaysia at the Southern Corridor of Malaysia.[4]

This order, when firmed, will be valued at approximately US$1.47 billion (RM5.44 billion), and could increase to US$2.94 billion (RM10.87 billion) if Flymojo exercises all options.
