KUALA LUMPUR - Officials from Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) say they are confident the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) will order another 18 FA-50M light fighters, which would bring the total number of aircraft on order to 36.

Malaysia signed an initial order for 18 FA-50 Bock 20 fighters (designated the FA-50M in Malaysia) in May 2023. That deal is valued at RM4 billion ($844 million). Those aircraft are expected to be delivered starting in October 2026, with the final aircraft slated to arrive in June 2027.

KAI anticipates negotiations for a second batch of fighters would also take place in 2026 and 2027. If an order does materialize, it would likely be the same Block 20 variant.
