CityJet

CityJet is a regional European carrier and ACMI/wet‑lease operator that from a traveler’s perspective serves short‑haul point‑to‑point and contract flying across Europe. Its brand is that of a practical regional airline operating small turboprops and regional jets rather than a long‑haul or full‑service network carrier.

Operations are concentrated on intra‑European routes and on services operated for larger airlines out of regional bases such as Brussels (BRU), Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Copenhagen (CPH) and London City (LCY); service levels and ticketing can vary depending on whether a flight is marketed by CityJet or by a partner carrier.

Frequent‑flyer and Partner Credit

CityJet does not operate a widely used proprietary frequent‑flyer program for independent accrual; when you fly on CityJet the miles and benefits you earn normally depend on the marketing carrier of the ticket. If your flight is sold by a partner airline, credit earnings, elite qualifying miles and lounge access follow that partner’s program rules-so it’s generally best to credit to the marketing carrier’s program when possible. For travelers, that means checking the ticketing carrier and frequent‑flyer rules before booking to capture the most value.

Where CityJet Flies

CityJet operates primarily across Europe from a set of regional bases, operating point‑to‑point short‑haul services and wet‑lease/ACMI flights for larger carriers; its operations are commonly based at airports such as Brussels (BRU), Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Copenhagen Kastrup (CPH) and London City (LCY). The network is focused on intra‑Europe connections and regional routes rather than long‑haul services, and many flights are scheduled on behalf of other airlines which extends CityJet’s practical reach through those partners’ networks. When booking, check whether your itinerary is marketed by CityJet or by another carrier since connections, baggage rules and frequent‑flyer accrual are governed by the marketing carrier.

Aircraft and Cabin Classes

CityJet operates a regional fleet profile made up of small turboprops and regional jets, including types such as Bombardier CRJ models, ATR turboprops, Fokker and other regional types listed in its operating history. Cabins are focused on short-haul comfort rather than long-haul amenities: most flights are single‑cabin economy layouts, though some aircraft and routes offer a small premium/extra‑legroom section or a separate business row on specific services. Expect typical regional‑jet seating pitch and limited onboard services compared with long‑haul carriers; amenities such as in‑seat entertainment or lie‑flat seats are not offered on standard CityJet short‑haul equipment.

Aircraft types operated: Fokker 50, Bombardier CRJ900, Bombardier CRJ1000, Yakovlev SJ-100, ATR 42, ATR 72, Dornier 328-100, Saab 2000, Avro RJ85

Tips for Flying CityJet

• Many CityJet flights are short regional sectors or operated on behalf of another carrier, so check whether the ticket is marketed by CityJet or by a partner-baggage allowance and frequent-flyer credit usually follow the marketing carrier.
• Seats on regional aircraft are often single-class or have a small premium/extra-legroom section; if you need a guaranteed aisle or extra space, select your seat early as free assignments can be limited.
• Check-in and boarding at smaller airports like London City (LCY) or regional terminals can close earlier than at major hubs, so arrive with extra time for security and boarding.
• Lounge access is uncommon on short regional flights unless you hold status with the marketing carrier or are flying on a business-class ticket issued by a partner airline.
