Small Planet Airlines expands to Germany with the incorporation of Small Planet Airlines GmbH. The company's office base is Berlin. Small Planet Airlines has begun offering its services to the German market with agreements already signed with some well-known German tour operators. “Germany is a strategic step that we have been considering for quite some time. Now that we have found the right partners with local expertise we are ready to make this move.” – said Mr. Vytautas Kaikaris, Small Planet Airlines CEO. The intention is to establish a German air operators' certificate (“AOC”) and to operate flights under the German registration, basing aircraft at both main and regional airports across Germany. The management of the business will be in the hands of Mr. Andreas Wobig and Mr. Oliver Pawel who were previously with Germania.
Small Planet Airlines is a leisure airline that operates 18 aircraft and shifts them between Europe and Asia depending on the season. In the summer season (May-October), Small Planet Airlines operates in Europe, basing its aircraft in Great Britain, Poland, Germany, Lithuania and Italy. In the winter season (November-April), Small Planet Airlines reduces its capacity in Europe due to lower demand and shifts some of its aircraft to Asia and other regions with opposite seasonality.
