GetJet Airlines is an aircraft leasing (ACMI) and chartering company headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania. Its aircraft fly on behalf of international airlines. The company also operates chartered flights for tour operator Tez Tour from the Baltic states.
History
The Civil Aviation Administration of the Republic of Lithuania (CAA) issued an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) to GetJet Airlines in March 2016. In May of the same year, the company obtained an EU commercial licence. Thereafter, it began to provide aircraft lease services. The company's first flight took place on 25 May 2016.
On 7 February 2018, GetJet Airlines announced that it had successfully passed the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA). In late 2018 the company took over Small Planet Airlines's chartered flights from the Vilnius airport and began to provide services for tour operators in the Baltic countries.
In September 2019 the company signed an agreement to operate some Sunwing Airlines flights in Canadian territory.[2] In October 2019 GetJet Airlines was the first Lithuanian air carrier to start operating transatlantic flights to North America with an airplane registered in the Baltic country. It operated long-haul flights between Warsaw and Toronto on behalf of LOT Polish Airlines using the only wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft in the Baltic region.[3] In 2019 the company served 1.5 million passengers.
GetJet Airlines leased three Boeing 737-800 aircraft from World Star Aviation in 2022.
In 2022, GetJet Airlines entered the Latvian market with the establishment of GetJet Airlines Latvia, which received its Air Operator's Certificate on 30 November 2022.
In 2023, GetJet Airlines added three Airbus A320 and two Boeing 737-800 aircraft to its fleet.
