Malaysia launches new airline with $1.5bn deal - BBC News (http://m.bbc.com/news/business-31918119)

I don't think they did too much research when they came up with this name :hmm:

This can mean many things, see Wikipedia. However, the most commonly used meaning derives from Southern US black culture, and specifically from the use of lucky charms, commonly carried in a small bag. This is an aspect of Louisiana Voodoo, a form of animistic religion derived from West African folk religious practices which arrived with the slaves shipped in to the southern plantations.

Initially a kind of all purpose powerful augmentative and protective spell, latterly the use of mojo has come to be focussed on sexual prowess and attraction. This tendency was enhanced by Muddy Waters' 1957 hit 'I got my mojo workin''

Now how this relates to airlines I don't know, but it suggests to me that either the airline is relying on magic, or that the cabin staff are particularly sexually attractive. These may be good or bad things, depending on your point of view, I suppose.:)
