CityJet is Europe’s leading regional airline based in Dublin, Ireland, operating a fleet of Bombardier aircraft on wet lease and charter services across Europe.

Established by entrepreneur Pat Byrne in 1993, CityJet pioneered services between Dublin and London City Airport in January 1994 under a franchise agreement with Virgin Atlantic Airways. CityJet formed a partnership with Air France in 1996, which eventually transferred into Air France ownership in 2000. Much of CityJet services were then operated under the Air France brand.

CityJet continued to develop its role as a key airline in the London City market in addition to growing its network connecting European cities to the Air France hub in Paris.

In 2015 the airline was purchased by a business consortium led by its original founder, Pat Byrne, and has embarked on a major programme of strategic development since.

Under its new ownership, CityJet rebranded with a refined livery, reflecting its newly-independent spirit and dedication to passenger service and quality.

CityJet has continued to undergo significant advancement since and now focuses its activity on wet lease and charter services. It operates a modern fleet of Bombardier CRJ900 passenger aircraft on behalf of SAS Scandinavian Airlines from its crew base in Copenhagen and also on charter services.
