Stobart Air enters into deal with CityJet

Aer Lingus Regional operator, Stobart Air has added Irish regional airline, CityJet to its growing list of franchise partners.

Stobart — formerly Aer Arann — already operates Aer Lingus’ regional/secondary airport routes between Ireland and Britain and recently added the London-mainland Europe routes for European low-cost operator, FlyBe. Earlier this year, it said it was actively looking to add more franchise partnerships with major European airlines.

Yesterday, Stobart announced that it will take over the operating of CityJet’s Cardiff to Edinburgh and Cardiff to Paris routes.
