Why are you guys so focused on CRJ900@LCY?

The PR is crystal clear:

Irish airline CityJet has been awarded a major wet lease contract by SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) to operate a network of regional routes from Helsinki, Oslo and Stockholm . Commencing in March 2016, CityJet will operate services on behalf of SAS using eight new aircraft, with an option to increase to 14 aircraft in 2017.

CityJet has also announced that it is to acquire eight 90-seat Bombardier CRJ900 regional jets, major components of which are manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace in Belfast. The CRJ900 fleet will be operated exclusively on behalf of SAS, with all aircraft in SAS colours and crewed by CityJet staff.
The CRJ900 is SAS's 100 seater of choice. They have a fleet of the type at CPH operated by Cimber Air and now Cityjet will complement that operation at the other SAS bases. It has nothing to do with Cityjet's own operation at LCY at all. They are simply the cheap jack for SAS.
