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 license. 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 with Sunwing Airlines, a company in Canada, and began to operate flights in that country.[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 operates 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]
