INTRODUCTION

It has been found that in the year 1994 City jet, known to be a complete service airline, entered the market beginning with Dublin-London route, known to be one of the busiest and important routes in the European region. Initially the airline faced many barriers economically as it was not successful in gathering more customers with high cost and also had to bear high airport and aircraft costs. In the year 2000 City jet was working under Airfrance but now it operates independently and is known as low cost airline providing complete service and competing with Air France group.

The airlines was established with the main intention and focus of providing high quality and quick services specially to business persons who had to fly regularly between London and key destinations within the UK, Ireland and European locations. Over the past 15 years City Jet has earned an excellent reputation for the warmth and professionalism of our front-line staff. Senior management team is led by CEO Geoffrey O'Byrne-White. Today, the airline employs nearly 1,100 people with its offices located at Antwerp and Dublin apart from its main commercial office at London City.
