And, would City Jet be an Aer Lingus franchise? We don't want to lose that, because we need to maintain the option of using Dublin as a hub for transatlantic flights.

Well I understand that Aer Lingus has had to give Cityjet's owners its consent to the £66m buyout of Stobart Air due to the latter airlines Franchise operation...

So that suggests City Jet will have the EI franchise then? Are they taking over the ATR fleet in which case this will be more or less just a change of ownership - or will we be expecting to see the return of such as the RJ85/BAe146 in Aer Lingus livery?

Just been told that CityJet have sub contracted out the weekly Saturday Leeds - Innsbruck charter to Titan Airways.

Flights are operated on behalf of tour operator Ingham Holidays. City Jet were due to use BAe Avro RJ85 aircraft but now Titan Airways will be flying to Salzburg using Boeing 737-300QC aircraft.

ZT7181 = ETD: 07:55 / ZT7184 = ETA: 19:30

Aircraft will operate following pattern
ZT181P = STN - LBA / ZT7181 = LBA - SZG
ZT182 = SZG - EDI / ZT7183 = EDI - SZG
ZT7184 = SZG - LBA / ZT184P = LBA - STN

So they have changed the Austrian Airport to Salzburg. That will upset the people who booked resorts near Innsbruck, much longer transfers from Salzburg to Tirol.
