CEO of Cityjet kicked out??
So, CEO Mr G O'B White has left Cityjet for greener pastures.
Was he so satisfied with creating such an efficient ,harmonious and profitable company that there wasn't much else he could do to improve it?
Or was Air France so sick of him and his cronies with their snouts in the trough that he was kicked out?
What ever the truth, he left in a pretty big hurry!

New Cityjet CEO
So Cityjet has a new CEO, Ms Christine Ourmetiere. Hopefully she can turn the airline around. She's got a tough job though and moral is rock bottom but I think most are glad to see the end of the last CEO and want to work towards a profitable happy airline..

Im sure somewhere in CityJets buisness plan it says something about making money, which they have been struggling to do for quite a while now, so while you dont seem to be very happy they have been offered well paid work, im sure the exec's and the employee's are

This is not obvious to people in the UK, but people in the area will be aware: Compare HHN-STN on Ryanair with LUX-LCY on Cityjet. Similar catchment area. If you don't mind the F50 (I do prefer a Q400), with the new German air-tax, it's not that far off anymore price-wise, esp booked weekends 2-4 weeks in advance. Remember: No Stansted Express, just Oystercard Zone 3. Sure, Cityjet is more comparable to FlyBE. They have free food though. Cityjet has more civilised flying times, I think Ryanair is neglecting the HHN-STN route, which is unwise. Also LUX is a very pretty new terminal, could be one of the winners of the German air tax.
I'm sure Cityjet are happy with revenue from subcharters to other opeators, certainly VLM were substantially into this market before the takeover, though I hadn't noticed how much of this work the F50 fleet do now, and Scot have always got quite a proportion of their revenue from charters and subcharters; sometimes one of the Cityjet liveried aircraft will be used, although they do try to use the ones still in their own livery, or the plain white one.

I believe charters with VLM aircraft/crew are still a regular thing but then again I've also heard that CityJet is struggling somewhat with it's finances.
They've still got a great deal to learn.

Latest rumour :
Flybe purchasing 2 european regional airlines.
-AF/KLM willing to sell CityJet within the next few weeks.
Arrival of new CEO Christine Ourmières to negotiate the deal.
Apparently the CityJet brand will continue to exist in LCY.
-Second airline possibly in northern europe

I suppose it could be a logical move for flybe to takeover cityjet as it would boost the very scarce presence that flybe have and would probably want to have in ireland, but would give them a stronghold in London City and Dublin. If true it could be the best way forward for Cityjet

Flybe to buy Cityjet
I'd put my mortgage on it folks, it's a sert. By the way, Flybe have a shed load of Emb 175's coming over the next 5 years, and that's what they'll use in and out of the City, for sure. Will feed everything, everywhere in the UK and Eire to CDG and AMS as a feed for all of AF/KLM's Longhaul operation.
As a betting man, my nasty dollars are on KLM City-hopper being the other company to be swallowed up by the Flybe war machine, I tell you just watch this space!!!
All waaay to much of a coincidence? Well, just watch this space (Me tinks Mr Embraer had better get more hands to the production pump)

*cough*
Do you see the Dutch changing the KLM brand to flybe?
Would you like to join the queue as the business man in front at LCY moans about the small print in the baggage charges or has to find change to buy a sandwich on board. For the two markets you are talking about the flybe product is a bad fit which leave the option of winging it with three slightly different business models.
If they do bid then I honestly see them biting off more than they can chew. The only benefactor if they change the model at LCY is BA who also own shares in flybe!
