Citywing (a trading name of Citywing Aviation Services Limited) is an Isle of Man-based virtual airline that sells seats on scheduled air flights operated under charter from Van Air Europe. Flights link several airports in the British Isles, with the company having a base at Isle of Man.[2] Its head office is in Hangar 9 at Isle of Man Airport in Ballasalla.

History

From November 2012, managing director David Buck led a management buyout of Manx2.[3][4] On 1 January 2013 the assets of Manx2 were acquired by the new company, 'Citywing',[5] and seats went on sale on the new company's website. During 2014, the route network expanded to include flights from Glasgow to the Isle of Man.[3] The first Citywing-branded flight took off on 2 January 2013.[3]

Citywing took over the Cardiff to Anglesey PSO route in January 2016 after the previous operator went bankrupt.[6]
