MDLR Airlines selected the RJ70 because of its combination of performance and economics and the fact that many of the airports to be served have short runways in mountainous regions with poor infrastructure.

The airline has also contracted with Regional Aircraft for its Jet Spares 'spares by the hour' customised support programme.

Mr Paul Stirling, Senior Vice President Asset Management of Regional Aircraft added: 'We are delighted to have secured another customer for our lease portfolio in the Indian sub-content, following on from our successes with First Flight Couriers and Yeti Airlines in Nepal. We are very active in this market and are in discussions with a number of carriers across the region.

'We wish MDLR Airlines every success in their operations for the future.'
