Cityjet has not flown any routes under its own brand since 2018, instead leasing aircraft and crew to other airlinesIf companies were like cats then Cityjet might have just barrelled through the third of its nine lives. The High Court has just appointed Kieran Wallace and Andrew O’Leary of Interpath Advisory Ireland as interim examiners to the airline, once Ireland’s third carrier after Aer Lingus and Ryanair. Now, Cityjet – which joined up with Spain’s Air Nostrum to create a new regional airline group in 2023 – is in trouble once again. Of particular issue are amounts owed to Canadian aircraft lessor EDC, which Cityjet is unable to pay. On Thursday, Mr Justice Michael Quinn appointed the examiners on an interim basis, pending a full hearing of the petition on May 26th, to which any particularly peeved creditors can object.
