History

[edit]

GetJet Airlines was founded by Aleksandr (Alex) Celiadin. The company was issued an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from Lithuania in November 2022.[4] The company's first flight took place on 25 May 2016.[5]

In late 2018, the company took over Small Planet Airlines's chartered flights from the Vilnius Airport.[6][7]

In September 2019, the company signed an agreement to operate Sunwing Airlines flights in Canadian territory.[8] 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.[9]

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, GetJet modified aircraft to transport cargo, including the first COVID-19 vaccines to Lithuania.[10] In 2020, GetJet was named the leader of Lithuania's transport and logistics sector at the Verslo žinios awards.[11]

In 2022, GetJet Airlines operated its first commercial flight to Australia.[12][non-primary source needed] It reported EBITDA of 28 million EUR in 2023.[2]

In 2023, GetJet Airlines achieved a profitability level that stood out significantly within the aviation industry. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the average EBIT margin among industry players was 4.5%, while GetJet Airlines reported an EBIT margin of 15.9%—nearly four times higher.[13]

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.[14][non-primary source needed]

In 2024, GetJet Airlines was recognized as one of the 25 most productive companies in Lithuania.[15]

In 2024, GetJet Aviation Holdings, an international aviation services group headquartered in Lithuania, reported a net profit of €25.4 million, with total revenues across the companies which currently comprise the group reaching €184.3 million in 2024.
