Malaysias SKS Airways to Lease Ten E195-E2s
28.05.2023 2228 UTC
SKS Airways (KI, Johor Bahru) signed a strategic
agreement with Azorra Aviation and Embraer (EMB,
Sao Jose dos Campos) to lease ten E195-E2s at
last weeks Langkawi International Maritime and
Aerospace (LIMA) event. SKS Airways says the
aircraft will open new growth opportunities in
the region. Deliveries of the aircraft will
commence in early 2024. The airline, which styles
itself as Malaysias new commercial carrier,
already operates a pair of DHC-6-300s from Kuala
Lumpurs Subang Airport and the Embraers will
facilitate a significant ramp-up of operations.
The lease agreement period is 12 years. With
these strategic partnerships, we are excited to
embark on a new phase of growth, with a fleet of
Embraers operating out of Subang. The prevalence
of the E-Jets at city airports around the world
and the low noise emissions of the E195-E2 makes
the aircraft a perfect fit for flights in and out
of Subang, said SKS Airways Director Dato Rohman
Ahmad. The Malaysian government is keen to ramp
up scheduled passenger services at Subang.

Malaysias AirAsia to Open Subang Base
10.02.2023 0227 UTC
AirAsia (AK, Kuala Lumpur International) is
expected to return to Kuala Lumpurs Sultan Abdul
Aziz Shah Airport, informally known as Kuala
Lumpur Subang, after being forced to quit the
airport 21 years ago. Speaking at a media
conference on February 8, Capital A CEO Tony
Fernandes said AirAsia has applied to base ten
aircraft at the airport and recommence operations
there. The move follows a Malaysian government
decision to allow scheduled passenger carriers to
use narrowbody aircraft as large as B737-800s and
A320-200s at the airport, located just 24
kilometres from the centre of the city. I
always have said that it is a waste of an asset,
Fernandes told reporters. A big city like Kuala
Lumpur should have two airports. Until Kuala
Lumpur International, known as KLIA, opened in
1998, Subang was Kuala Lumpurs primary airport.
In 2002, AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines were
ordered to switch their operations to KLIA to
boost traffic through that airport. Subang
Airport is presently serviced by four passenger
carriers Firefly.
