CityJet is an Irish regional airline with headquarters at Dublin Airport.[1] It was founded in 1992 and has gone through a series of corporate structures. The airline was sold to Air France in 2000 and then by Air France to Intro Aviation in May 2014;[2] in March 2016 the airline was bought by founder Pat Byrne and other investors.[3] CityJet ended its own-brand scheduled services in 2018 and is now a major provider of wet leasing to European airlines.[4] As of Summer 2023, CityJet operates wet lease services on behalf of Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa and Scandinavian Airlines.

Over 450 of CityJet's 600+ staff are employed in Copenhagen in both flying and ground roles, making CityJet one of the most significant airline employers in Denmark, with further crew employed in Sweden.[5] In addition to its head office at Dublin Airport and crew planning centre in Luton, CityJet has a maintenance hangar and offices in Copenhagen Kastrup Airport.[6]
