The airline was established in 1995 and ceased operations in April 1998. The airline&#8217;s fleet consisted of a single Canadair Regional Jet CRJ-100ER aircraft and a pair of deHavilland Canada Dash 8-100s. Future plans for the airline at that time included\u00a0leasing 10 Airbus\u00a0A320s\u00a0to expand its routes by September 1998 to West Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi) and six further destinations in China, two in Australia, as well as Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines and Indonesia. The airline ceased operations in April 1998 due to the Asian financial crisis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Airports Served<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>BKI &#8211; Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia<\/li>\n<li>BTU &#8211; Bintulu, Malaysia<\/li>\n<li>KCH &#8211; Kuching, Malaysia<\/li>\n<li>MYY &#8211; Miri, Malaysia<\/li>\n<li>MZV &#8211; Mulu, Malaysia<\/li>\n<li>SBW &#8211; Sibu, Malaysia<\/li>\n<li>LAC &#8211; Layang-Layang, Malaysia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>CRJ Fleet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Saeaga Airlines operated a single example of the Canadair Regional Jet in its fleet:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">MSN 7089 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 9M-EKC (Ex C-FWRN) \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 CRJ-100ER<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This aircraft had its first flight on October 18th, 1995, and then was delivered directly to Saeaga.

As part of the transfer of this aircraft to Skywest&#8217;s fleet, the aircraft was modified to the CRJ-200ER configuration.
