- CityFlyer Express was a short-haul regional airline, independent from government-owned corporations, with its head office in the Iain Stewart Centre on the grounds of London Gatwick Airport in Crawley, West Sussex, England. In 1993 it became the first British Airways (BA) franchisee operating as British Airways Express. CityFlyer's ownership passed to BA in 1999 when that company bought out the original promoters as well as 3i, the airline's main shareholder at the time. Initially, CityFlyer continued to operate as a separate unit, but it was eventually absorbed into British Airways' mainline short haul operation at Gatwick in 2001, the result of a change in British Airways' strategy for its Gatwick operation. Following its absorption into British Airways, the airline's turboprops were retired, while the company's fleet of regional short-haul jetliners and the associated crews were transferred to British Airways' regional operation in Birmingham and Manchester. Most of the former CityFlyer Express routes are now operated by British Airways mainline short haul crews based at Gatwick using that airline's Gatwick-based Boeing 737 fleet.
