The signing was announced at last week’s Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA23). SKS Airways, based at Kuala Lumpur Subang airport, operates De Havilland DHC 6-300 Twin Otter charter flights. “The prevalence of E-Jets at city airports around the world and the low noise emissions of the E195-E2 make the aircraft a perfect fit for flights in and out of Subang Airport – supporting the government’s aim to establish Subang Airport as Malaysia’s premium city airport and aviation hub,” SKS Airways director, Dato' Rohman Ahmad, said. Embraer Commercial Aviation chief commercial officer, Martyn Holmes, added: “We welcome SKS Airways to the Embraer family and look forward to growing our collaboration and partnerships as Malaysia develops as a major aerospace hub.”
