Oh dear. I was intrigued when they took these as it seemed risky. No blame of course; if it had worked out it would have been an inspired decision that would have put them in a uniquely wonderful position in Europe...

This could prove to be a very costly development for Sukhoi, particularly in relation to its business development prospects in the Western World. Having maintenance and support available is key in any region. Hopefully this development, should it materialise will not put too heavy a strain on Cityjet...

Cityjet pre AirFrance investment found many investors that helped keep the carrier afloat in the most challenging of times, e.g Malmo Aviation. Pat Byrne is to be congradulated for making the business work and now he being back has found a new niche for the carrier in ACMI.
That said the concept of ACMI is in its infancy in europe and it's a great niche, but you'd have to question how the airline has funded all of this expansion while investing in new aircraft and operating multiple a/c types... this link with Nostrum will likely underpin the viability of the business! Best if luck to them....

Good news for WX, commercial risk gone of the route, however IAG now has 2 airlines competing on a single route... wonder if they will kill one of the two... as it makes now sense to let BACF and EI (WX) run this route.

Very good news indeed... LCY was in need of a service and brand such as Aer Lingus. Could this spell the beginning of the end of the EI agreement with Stobart?
IAG is not that sensitive that it wouldn’t allow competing airlines. What about Iberia and BA on Madrid London? This signals more co-operation/market share.... plus keeping revenue in the same group is wise.

Excellent news, if it becomes reality. Stobart Air have not been able to consistently provide reliable E195 aircraft's on the SEN - DUB route and other continental European cities. I welcome any progress to deliver reliable and punctual services. Badly needed.

Cityjet has made no secret of its desire to tender for the Aer Lingus Regional business, and quite publically so too.
Despite the 195 challenges that Stobart has faced it appears to provide consistency across the Aer Lingus Regional branded business, carrying as many as 1 in 3 Aer Lingus guests between Ireland and the UK.
There is no reason why Stobart and Cityjet/Nostrom cannot each play their part in the future and let's face it, the AerLingus Regional contract has some time left to go, and IMHO significant consolidation in the regional airline market will take place before that. Especially in the context of Flybe's challenges there is bound to be some changes. Stobart's attempt to effect change with the proposed Cityjet link up, and then the proposed take over of Flybe, plenty has been happening.

The bigger question is of what is remaining of Cityjet scheduled services at LCY excluding DUB, what is to become of the rest. Will these slots be used to draw another ACMI customer in? If so good move. Will Cityjet's own decline at LCY vis a vis BA, give them an opportunity to work with BACF???

Don't forget, choice of seat selection in economy seats.The whole package just does as it says on the tin, all round a fairly good product and service. It's just works well.

So officially this will mark the end of Cityjet's own scheduled services in its own rite.. They've done very well to get to this milestone 24 yrs on, but now placed on a much more sustainable footing...

Do you know what is happening to Cityjet flights from London City to Amsterdam and Florence.? Are these ops for another carrier or are they ceasing? Amsterdam operates with WX flight codes for example. I am probably missing something!

On the Cityjet website, it says they will suspend all scheduled flying in their own name from Oct 28th. So I guess the routes are dropped.

Does anyone know if the ending Of the Cityjet scheduled operation will result in a excelaration of there plans to retire the RJ85 fleet. I know two are set to fly for EI, but what about the rest of the fleet?. Does anyone know which aircraft are planned to operate for EI and if they will receive full EI colours?.
According to the information on Jethro’s fleet listings. There are 14 RJ85’s registered to WX however how many of those are actually still in service. Can anyone clarify the status of the following aircraft:
EI-RJD - Arrived in NWI on 01SEP18. Does anyone know if this is for engineering check/storage or maybe repaint?
EI-RJF - Has been parked at NWI since 04MAR18, is said to be currently engineless. Has this aircraft been PWFU?
EI-RJI - Last operated flight info found was back in mid JAN. Has the aircraft been placed into storage or PWFU?
EI-RJU - Last operated flight info found was back in early AUG.
EI-WXA - Hasn’t flown for over two years guessing PWFU.

They need one or two for DUB-CDG as well. I think this is the only AF route they still operate(?) In the past they also operated from CDG to places in Germany, Italy etc., but from what I gather, this has ended a while ago.
