Pat Byrne back at CityJet

CityJet, the independent regional airline centred on London City Airport, has announced that its founder, Pat Byrne, is to re-join the Board as Chairman.

Pat Byrne created the airline in 1993 and was its Chief Executive for seven years until the carrier was sold to Air France.  In December 2013 Air France announced the sale of the airline to German investor Intro Aviation whose Managing Partner Peter Oncken became Chairman.  With this move Peter Oncken remains on the board.

Jeremy Barnes, CEO of Falko, the aircraft investment company, which recently completed a sales and leaseback arrangement with the airline for seven AVRO RJ85 aircraft, has also been appointed to the Board.   www.cityjet.com
