Eirjet, an Irish-based charter airline, was founded in 2004, the inaugural flight taking place on December 23, 2004. The first destination was Agadir; several other airports around the Mediterranean were served later on. Originally flying one Airbus A320, two more were added in 2005. With the new planes flights were operated not only from Dublin but from Cork and Shannon as well.
In an unusual process Eirjet wet-leased all three planes to Ryanair in February 2006 and leased three other planes from Transavia, Flyjet and Eagle Aviation to cover their own charter services. In the same year a fourth A320 was acquired.
On October 18, 2006, Eirjet suspended all services due to financial problems. The aircraft were returned to the lessors and almost immediately leased on to Mandala Airlines and Air Jamaica.
