CityJet (New Zealand)

CityJet (New Zealand)

CityJet was a short-lived New Zealand airline. It operated between May and November 1999.

CityJet was launched when Tranzglobal Holdings, a freight airline operator, decided to establish a low-cost passenger service, competing with Air New Zealand, Ansett New Zealand, and Origin Pacific Airways. CityJet was based around Cook Strait, having a hub in Wellington and serving Nelson, Blenheim, and Palmerston North. The airline's fleet was based on the Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante.

In October 1999, the Civil Aviation Authority grounded CityJet's aircraft after allegations of irregularities in the recording of flight times. Some flights continued using chartered aircraft, but in November, the airline's pilots were placed under restrictions. CityJet ceased flying in November, and the company ceased operating the following month.
