About CityJet
Since its formation in 1993, the CityJet brand has stood for excellence in service.
We started out providing a direct link from Dublin to the new London City Airport 30 years ago and have evolved into a pan-European operator delivering capacity to customer airlines across Europe. Since 2018, our flights have all been operated on behalf of customer airlines – we do not fly scheduled flights under our own brand. Click here to see a brief history of CityJet
Our business model is simple. We provide capacity as a service, and we deliver this to customer airlines who require flights to be operated under “wet lease” agreements rather than doing them themselves.
We provide our aircraft and crew and also maintain and insure the aircraft under an “ACMI” wet lease agreement. Our customer decides where and when we fly the aircraft, what routes it should operate on and is also responsible for the sale of seats to passengers and any operating costs – such as fuel or airport fees – which are incurred. Our crews operate the services in our aircraft, delivering the product our customer airline requires.
CityJet is transitioning to a fleet of 18 88/90-seat CRJ900 aircraft. All of our operations are conducted on behalf of Scandinavian Airlines under a wet lease agreement, with hubs in Copenhagen, Denmark and Stockholm, Sweden..
Over 330 of CityJet's 514 staff are employed in Copenhagen in both flying and ground roles, making CityJet one of the most significant airline employers in Denmark. We also have a crew base in Stockholm supporting a growing number of aircraft in Sweden.
Our maintenance centre and offices at Hangar 3 in Copenhagen Kastrup Airport provide line maintenance on our fleet as well as crew training and HR services. The airline’s administration base, including our Operations Control Centre / OCC and Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation / CAMO, is at Dublin Airport. Our crew planning centre is located in Luton, England.
We continually recruit for roles within the organisation and have recently recommenced providing type rating courses for CRJ crew members. For current vacancies, please visit our Careers page and careers portal.
Our accreditations include IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA), completed in June 2025 for recertification in November 2025 using the new Risk Based Approach. This comprehensive risk based audit has become the industry benchmark in safety auditing which now includes a maturity assessment. CityJet also holds TCO approval from the UK CAA.
After becoming part of the Strategic Alliance of Regional Airlines (SARA) in 2023, CityJet entered a new phase on 31 October 2025 under the ownership of CityJet Holding ApS, marking a renewed focus on stability and growth.
