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 Airport 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.

Most of the BAe 146 aircraft were acquired from the United States when most services using the BAe 146 stopped in the early 1990s. The airline will replace the 146's with second-hand Avro RJ85 aircraft, which have been sourced from Mesaba in the USA. Deliveries are ongoing. The BAe 146 (also known as the Avro RJ) is a medium-sized commercial aircraft manufactured by BAE SYSTEMS. It carries its four jet engines on a high wing above the fuselage; not below, or at mid-fuselage, as on most conventional civilian aircraft. ...
