I just can't see FlyBe and Cityjet ever merging. LCY is a too expensive airport for FlyBe's buisiness model. FlyBe, albeit under a different name has tried LCY before and it just didn't work. FlyBe ha moved 'downmarket' since so why would it work today? If FlyBe did buy Cityjet, it would be a huge financial undertaking for FlyBe to replace all of the aircraft. I feel the FlyBe service would not go down well with the current clientele. If such a merger did go ahead, I see BA Cityflyer to see an upturn in buisiness.I would not be suprised to see a closer relationship between FlyBe and Cityjet, especially due to the new AF codeshares. Stranger things have happened in the world of aviation, so only time will tell.....
