CityJet (WX, Dublin International) has taken delivery of the first of five CRJ1000s it is planning to induct in 2023 to support the growth of its white-label ACMI business.
EI-HIC (msn 19017) was ferried out of storage at Ljubljana on March 28, 2023, and, after a series of proving flights, was ferried to Munich on April 1, 2023, Flightradar24 ADS-B data shows. The 11.5-year-old regional jet, formerly operated by HOP! (France) and owned by Regional One, has been deployed since then under the long-term wet-lease contract with Lufthansa CityLine, as previously reported.
A further two CRJ1000s for CityJet, OE-LIL (msn 19024) and OE-LIZ (msn 19006), are currently undergoing pre-delivery maintenance at Maastricht airport, according to the ch-aviation fleets module.
The Irish white-label specialist also operates twenty-one CRJ900s, most of them under a long-term contract with SAS Scandinavian Airlines. Two aircraft currently operate for Brussels Airlines, while one more CRJ900 is wet-leased to Lufthansa Cityline.
