CityJet is an Irish regional airline with headquarters at Dublin Airport. It was founded in 1992 and has gone through a series of corporate structures. In 2023, it merged with Air Nostrum, forming Strategic Alliance of Regional Airlines (SARA).
The airline was sold to Air France in 2000 and then by Air France to Intro Aviation in May 2014; in March 2016, the airline was bought by founder Pat Byrne and other investors. CityJet ended its own-brand scheduled services in 2018 and is now a major provider of wet leasing to European airlines. Prior to the merger, in summer 2023, CityJet was operating wet lease services on behalf of Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa and Scandinavian Airlines.
