Brest from London City

CityJet is to launch services to the port city of Brest in Brittany from the start of the summer season.  The Dublin-based airline, part of the Air France KLM Group, will at that time serve eight destinations across France headed by Paris Orly, plus Avignon, Brive, Deauville, Nantes, Pau, Toulon and Toulouse.

Initially the flights will operate on a Friday and Sunday, flown by one of the airline’s 14-strong fleet of Fokker F50s.  The twice-weekly schedule is thought best for business people commuting to and from London, and for weekend holidaymakers.

In total CityJet will offer 18 destinations next summer from London City Airport, with Amsterdam the busiest route offering eight flights in each direction in direct competition with British Airways.  The longer routes are all flown by Avro RJ85 aircraft of which the airline has 22. www.cityjet.com
