Lithuania-based charter flight provider KlasJet has obtained a Canadian foreign air operator certificate, allowing it to offer aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance (ACMI) services in Canada. The company is part of the Avia Solutions Group, which operates 192 aircraft under ACMI contracts in 68 countries, as well as providing services including MRO work, flight crew training, and ground handling.
The KlasJet fleet consists of 14 Boeing narrowbody aircraft. These include five “Classic” 737 airliners, a Boeing Business Jet with seating capacities ranging from 23 to 68 seats, and eight 737-800s that can carry up to 189 passengers.
According to Justinas Bulka, CEO of KlasJet, ACMI services help airlines and other operators respond to fluctuating demand for flights in a more cost-effective way while managing risk. “One of our main long-term strategic goals at KlasJet is to cater to a variety of regions worldwide,” he said. “Being able to provide services in Canada will make us even more attractive to possible future partners.”
