I agree LCY was a dog for CityJet. They killed it off quickly from 3 to nothing. You do wonder if it would do better with EI operation and marketing, something like the A220 is a different league in terms of fuel burn and maintenance than the ARJ. At the time cityJet we’re retreating from LCY and became increasingly irrelevant. EI could make use of the aircraft from Cork during the middle of the day, impossible on the ARJ due to the cost-base. The economy is a bit stronger now and traffic between Canary Wharf and Ireland is likely to be stable, if not grow in a hard/no-deal Brexit scenario. It not a sure-fire winter, but a lot has changed since the last LCY attempt.
