Malaysia set to launch new airline

A new airline is set to dot the skies as the Malaysian government has announced plans to create a new airline called Flymojo.

According to CNN Money, the new airline has already signed a $1.5 billion deal with Canadian aircraft company Bombardier for 20 new planes.

The new carrier will however not replace Malaysia Airlines.

The fleet will seat  up to 150 passengers each and will fly between the Malaysian cities of Sabah and Sarawak, as well as other key cities in the region.

The Senai International Airport in Malaysia will be the airline's main hub.

Flymojo chairman, Alies Anor Abdul, said the airline's goal is to make air travel "a much-anticipated and longed for experience, as the company strives towards "putting the human touch back into flying."

The new airline was announced by Malaysian and Canadian officials at an industry event in Langkawi, Malaysia.
