Farewell to City Airline/Skyways as they end their Gothenburg service

City Airline (CF) operated their final Birmingham - Gothenburg
service on the evening of Tuesday 1 May 2012, a routes they
have operated since November 2003
.
The last flights - CF 017/018 - Gothenburg - Birmingham
- Gothenburg were operated by Embraer 145EU SE-RAD
.

City Airline were re branded as Skyways back in November
2011 via whose www site booking are now made but the
flights continued to be operated under the City Airline name

City Airline/Skyways to cease their Birmingham to Gothenburg service‏

City Airline (CF) - who have still to re brand as Skyways despite
their flights now only being bookable via the latter's www site -
will be ceasing their weekday evening Birmingham - Gothenburg
service with the last flight planned for Tuesday 1 May 2012
.

The route - which started back in November 2003 - has had
its up and downs over recent years - it was once twice daily -
and the regular schedule/timings changes during the early
part of 2012 clearly have not helped
.

City Airline becomes Skyways

City Airline which was acquired by the owner of fellow
Swedish regional airline Skyways back in April 2011
has now assumed the Skyways brand name
.
This change has been a long time coming with many
of the City Airline aircraft having long lost their colour
scheme and titles....
.
.... hopefully it will not take as long for the aircraft
to be painted in the smart new red Skyways scheme
.
In the short term the flights are still planned to operate
as the "CF017/018" however with effect from Monday
5 December 2011 the timings on Monday to Thursday
change to lunchtime until the Christmas/New Year
holiday period when a bespoke schedule operates
.
Skyways schedule from Monday 5 December 2011 until Christmas
.
1320/1350 CF017/018 ER3/ER4 from/to Gothenburg
- operates Monday to Thursday
1825/1900 CF017/018 ER3/ER4 from/to Gothenburg
- operates on Friday and Sunday
.
Flights can now be booked at www.skyways.com
