History

The airline was established on 28 September 1992 and started operations on 12 January 1994. It was founded by Pat Byrne and began operations between London City and Dublin under a franchise agreement with Virgin Atlantic Airways. On 4 July 1997 the airline began operations on the route using its own brand and identity. During this time the relationship with Air France began with CityJet operating the Paris to London City service on behalf of Air France. In May 1999 Air France took a 25% equity stake in partnership with Air Foyle Ireland, but assumed complete control in February 2000.

CityJet now employs 500 people. It carried over 1.1m passengers in the financial year 2004 and had profits of over €7m.
