SnipSnapp SAS enters into agreements with Cityjet for wet lease and sale of Blue1 http://www.sasgroup.net/en/sas-enters-into-agreements-with-cityjet-for-wet-lease-and-sale-of-blue1/
The new aircraft, which each have 90 seats and are painted in SAS colors, will be put into service from March 2016 on routes and at times when there is a need for smaller aircraft.
Kan vi forvente å disse på Norsk innenriks?

Ser for meg at noen av rutene som opereres med 737 kanskje har litt vel mye kapasitet. Tipper 90% av turene mine med SAS er turer hvor jeg har ledig sete ved siden av......
Ikke at jeg ønsker nærkontakt med andre passasjerer.
JetTime flyr jo ATR innenriks i Norge for SAS så da er det vel like stor sjanse for å fly en CityJet Crj900 en gang i fremtida, mellom TRD, AES, BOO og slike ruter kanskje?
https://envaspotter.wordpress.com/2...tte-inn-crj900-pa-vaernes-alesund-bergen-s16/Vi har fått informasjon fra Danmark om at SAS jobber med å sette inn en Bombardier CRJ900 på Værnes-Ålesund-Bergen-ruten i sommerprogrammet 2016.
Iflg kilder så sies det at de skal settes inn på OSL, ARN og HEL.
Separately, the company also announced that it has been awarded a major contract by Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) to operate a network of regional routes from Helsinki, Oslo and Stockholm.

Ja, ser også irsk media referer til det og ser ut som infoen kommer fra Cityjet selv
CityJet wins major contract to operate SAS regional routes and places order for up to 14 Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft
Irish airline CityJet has been awarded a major wet lease contract by SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) to operate a network of regional routes from Helsinki, Oslo and Stockholm . Commencing in March 2016, CityJet will operate services on behalf of SAS using eight new aircraft, with an option to increase to 14 aircraft in 2017.
CityJet has also announced that it is to acquire eight 90-seat Bombardier CRJ900 regional jets, major components of which are manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace in Belfast. The CRJ900 fleet will be operated exclusively on behalf of SAS, with all aircraft in SAS colours and crewed by CityJet staff.
In addition to the eight aircraft in 2016, the contract has potential to add six further aircraft in 2017, bringing the total aircraft value to over $650m;
"The SAS contract has immense strategic significance for CityJet’s growth and development, strengthening its market position across Europe and facilitating ongoing investment and growth. Securing this contract with SAS is a major vote of confidence in our team and in our expertise, and will help support future business expansion”, Pat Byrne, CityJet ‘s Executive Chairman said at the announcement of the new business win.
“We are looking forward to working with CityJet to further expand our regional route network and thereby strengthen SAS’s offering to frequent travelers. The eight brand new CRJ900s from CityJet will provide us with efficient and flexible production of regional flights that will complement SAS’s production on the larger traffic flows,” says Rickard Gustafson, President and CEO at SAS.
“We welcome CityJet as the newest member to the CRJ family. With its unique operations, CityJet has forged strong business relationships with many of Bombardier’s long-standing customers such as SAS who now look to CityJet’s expertise for their network growth” said Ryan DeBrusk, Vice President, Sales, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Russia & Commonwealth of Independent States for Bombardier. “CityJet brings an impressive amount of knowledge and experience in the wet lease market whereby it will now provide airlines with modern aircraft, crews and maintenance for operation.”
Since becoming independent last year, CityJet has seen continual growth across its network, and will carry over two million passengers this year on its scheduled services, charter services, and a Paris-based wet lease programme for Air France.
The airline has recorded 40% growth on its key route Dublin to London City route in the last six months, as well as strong advance bookings for the new Cork to London City service, which commences today and will see up to eighteen flights a week on the route.
CityJet now employs almost 500 staff, with over 300 based at its headquarters in Swords, County Dublin, and additional crew bases in London and Paris.
http://www.check-in.dk/cityjetkangoere-indhug-i-sas-produktion#.Vg4t7PntmkoCityJet overtager de omkring 200 ansatte i Blue1, men får brug for flere ansatte. De vil sandsynligvis blive ansat på irske overenskomster. De otte CRJ900-fly males i SAS-farver, men kommer på irsk register.
Det ser ut til at de konstruerer hele regionalsegmentet, altså ATR/CRJ, på at de har noen faste ruter, men at det er et overskudd på fly som også brukes fleksibelt over hele rutenettet.
Dette er jo interessant. Tro om det betyr at Blue 1 flyr 717 frem til CityJet overtar?
