A letter of intent for the aircraft was signed at the Aero India air show in Bangalore Thursday.
Kathmandu-based Bishwo is privately owned and a subsidiary of Bishwo Holdings, a diversified Nepalese investment holding company based in Singapore.
At the 2014 Farnborough Airshow it ordered two Airbus 330-200s, which will initially operate mid- and long-haul services to Malaysia and the Persian Gulf. There is a large Nepalese expatriate community in the Gulf, working in the construction sector. Bishwo has plans to expand later further afield in Asia and Europe.
The SSJ100s, which are due to be delivered from 2017, will have a two-class, 93-seat layout and are intended to develop domestic and regional services to the point at which larger types can be deployed.
