GetJet Airlines is a Lithuanian charter airline company founded in 2016.

GetJet Airlines has operated ACMI wet leases for airlines including Wizz Air, Finnair, Transavia, Icelandair, TUI Airways, Vueling, and others.[3]

History

GetJet Airlines was founded by Aleksandr (Alex) Celiadin. The company was issued an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from Lithuania in March 2016.[citation needed] In May of the same year, the company obtained an EU commercial license.[citation needed] The company's first flight took place on 25 May 2016.[4]

In late 2018 the company took over Small Planet Airlines's chartered flights from the Vilnius airport.[5][6]

In September 2019 the company signed an agreement to operate Sunwing Airlines flights in Canadian territory.[7] In October 2019, GetJet Airlines began operating transatlantic flights to North America between Warsaw and Toronto on behalf of LOT Polish Airlines using an Airbus A330 aircraft.[8]

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, GetJet modified aircraft to transport cargo, including the first COVID-19 vaccines to Lithuania. [9] In 2020, GetJet was named the leader of Lithuania’s transport and logistics sector at the Verslo žinios awards.[10]

In 2022, GetJet Airlines operated its first commercial flight to Australia.[11][non-primary source needed] It reported EBITDA of 28 million EUR in 2023.[2]

In 2024, GetJet Airlines Latvia received the Part 129 Operation Specification approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a prerequisite for the carrier to operate passenger flights to and from the USA.[citation needed]

In 2024, GetJet Airlines added three Airbus A320 and two Boeing 737-800 aircraft to its fleet.[12][non-primary source needed]
