Since its formation in 1993, the CityJet brand has believed in offering excellence in service. The airline started out providing a direct link from Dublin to the newly opened London City Airport 31 years ago.
Since 2018, CityJet flights have all been operated on behalf of customer airlines – that carrier does not fly scheduled flights under our own brand. It keeps its business model simple - provide capacity as a service, and deliver this to customer airlines who require flights to be operated under “wet lease” agreements rather than doing them themselves.
CityJet provides aircraft and crew and also maintains and insures them under an “ACMI” wet lease agreement. Its customers decide where and when we fly the aircraft, and what routes it should operate on. The customer carrier is also responsible for the sale of seats to passengers and any operating costs – such as fuel or airport fees – which are incurred. CityJet crews operate the services in the aircraft, delivering the product the customer airline requires.
CityJet operates a fleet of 21 88/90-seat CRJ900 aircraft and six 100-seat CRJ1000s. The majority of aircraft operate under a wet lease contract for SAS Scandinavian Airlines, based in Copenhagen and Stockholm, with the CRJ1000 aircraft operated on behalf of Lufthansa.
Over 450 of CityJet's 600 staff are employed in Copenhagen in both flying and ground roles, making CityJet one of the most significant airline employers in Denmark. The company also have a crew base in Stockholm supporting a growing number of aircraft in Sweden. In addition to flying for SAS, Stockholm and Copenhagen crews also operate services from Frankfurt on behalf of Lufthansa.
The airline is currently has a number of job vacancies :
