CityJet named regional airline of the year

CityJet was named regional airline of the year at an aviation awards ceremony in Berlin Tuesday night. The airline picked up the award at the CAPA Aviation Awards at the world aviation outlook summit and was singled out as the “best performer strategically”. The company was selected to its strategy change which sees it move away from operating branded flights to becoming a wet lease operator. “CityJet has pioneered a new vision of regional airline operations in Europe, focusing on third party wet leasing to offset revenue risk and driving consolidation in pursuit of greater efficiency,” said CAPA executive chairman Peter Harbison. Collecting the award, CityJet CE Pat Byrne said: “We set out on a journey to transform CityJet a few years ago and today have over 1,300 staff employed across 9 countries in Europe". <br/>
