In 2015, the Chairman of City Airways signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) to lease ten Comac C919 and ten Comac ARJ21-700 aircraft.[1][2][3]
In February 2016, the airline ceased operations after the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand revoked its landing rights due to concerns regarding safety and finances.[4][5][6][7] By mid-March 2016 all of its aircraft had been returned to lessors or sold on.[citation needed] The order for the Comac aircraft was cancelled.[citation needed]
