Gothenburg GOT to Bergen BGO flight with SAS

A regional jet (RJ) is a jet-powered regional airliner typically designed to carry fewer than 100 passengers on short-haul flights. These aircraft are often used by regional airlines, which may operate independently or as subsidiaries contracted by larger carriers, to connect smaller markets to major airline hubs. Key manufacturers of regional jets include Embraer and Bombardier, with Embraer's E-Jet family being particularly popular. Regional jets play a crucial role in providing air service to communities that may not have sufficient demand for larger aircraft, facilitating connections within a country or a specific area of a continent.

Widerøe is Norway's oldest and largest regional airline, established in 1934. It plays a vital role in connecting smaller communities across Norway, particularly in the west and north, where air service is crucial due to challenging terrain. The airline operates an extensive network of domestic and international destinations, with over 400 daily departures. Widerøe's fleet primarily consists of De Havilland Dash 8 turboprops, and it was the inaugural operator of Embraer's E-Jet E2. Norwegian completed the acquisition of Widerøe in January 2024, making it Widerøe's sole owner.

CityJet is an Irish regional airline headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Founded in 1992, it began operations in 1994, initially flying between Dublin and London City Airport under a franchise agreement with Virgin Atlantic. CityJet transitioned its business model in 2018, ceasing its own-brand scheduled services to focus on wet leasing aircraft to other European airlines. This means CityJet provides aircraft and crew to operate flights on behalf of other carriers. As of 2023, CityJet operates a fleet of Bombardier CRJ900 and CRJ1000 aircraft, primarily for airlines like Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), Lufthansa, and Brussels Airlines. In 2023, CityJet merged with Air Nostrum, forming the Strategic Alliance of Regional Airlines (SARA).
