The flight, to a Mediterranean resort, follows the receipt of an Air Operator’s Certificate from the Lithuanian CAA in late June, 2014.

“We are extremely proud about the fact that we have managed to obtain such a widely desired AOC in such a relatively short period of time. It is all the more exciting that the company is ready and able to launch its operations during the high season,” says KlasJet CEO, Vitalij Kapitonov. “The fact that our first 3-hour long commercial flight comes right after the receipt of the AOC proves the growing demand for VIP charters in the region. I am glad to share that our first passengers fully enjoyed their flight, conducted in one of our uniquely designed business jets - Bombardier Challenger 850. Whether it is London, Moscow, Rome or any other destination, our customers can expect nothing but the most extensive and flexible support possible - something they truly deserve."

KlasJet launched its operations with a fleet of two business jets - a Bombardier CRJ200 and a Challenger 850 - both outfitted with a unique livery and exclusive interior. In the long-term it is planned that the company will operate up to 10 corporate jets, including Embraer Legacy and Hawker aircraft. The carrier’s fleet is supported by Avia Solutions Group and its subsidiaries which hold EASA Part-145, EASA Part-147, EASA Part-21 and EASA Part-M certificates. This allows the carrier to control MRO, cabin refurbishment and modernization processes whilst ensuring European quality and comfort.
