CityJet is a subsidiary of one of the largest airlines in the world, Air France KLM Group. Today's CityJet was formed from the merger of CityJet and VLM Airlines. Both airlines were formed in the early 1990s, with a focus on providing high-quality, high-frequency services to business travellers flying between London and key points in the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe.

Established from a Dublin base in 1993, CityJet commenced services in January 1994, with it first scheduled flights on the Dublin to London City route. CityJet commenced its alliance with Air France in 1996, operating the Paris Charles de Gaulle to London City route under contract.

VLM Airlines was established in 1992, and commenced operations in 1993, with services between London City Airport and Antwerp. By 2007, it was operating a fleet of 21 Fokker 50s, carrying around 750,000 passengers.

In December 2007, VLM Airlines was acquired by the Air-France KLM Group and 12 months later, began to combine operations with CityJet. In early 2009, the carriers unveiled their new combined commercial organisation, with the CityJet brand being adopted across both carriers from May 2009.
