KlasJet secures IATA membership after demonstrating global safety standards
25th June 2025: A premium private jet charter company KlasJet, part of the world's largest ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) provider Avia Solutions Group, has joined the International Air Transport Association (IATA) as an official member. This membership proves that the company meets the highest global aviation safety, quality, and operational management standards, establishing KlasJet among world-class private airlines and strengthening its reputation with clients, regulators, and business partners. To become an IATA member, KlasJet had to meet several mandatory requirements, including passing the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA). Conducted by accredited IATA auditors, this audit examined the airline's flight operations, technical maintenance systems, passenger and baggage handling, risk management and other critical areas of operations. 'Joining IATA is a significant milestone for our airline,' says Indre Liveikyte, Compliance Monitoring Manager at KlasJet. 'It is a quality and safety mark recognized by airports, regulatory institutions, and business partners worldwide. This membership demonstrates that KlasJet is not only a safe and reliable company, but also an innovative, world-class player ready to operate in a competitive, strictly regulated environment.' KlasJet employs a structured and continuously improving management system, encompassing regular internal audits and inspections, periodic mandatory employee training, and operational process reviews. All levels – from flight operations to ground services and training centers – function as an integrated system that helps the company not only respond to but proactively manage compliance issues. According to Liveikyte, KlasJet understands that IATA standards compliance is not a one-time project but an ongoing commitment: 'Our Compliance and Safety departments actively collaborate with other divisions to ensure that safety is integrated into every operational decision, not just treated as a formal procedure. We have already set a date for the IOSA registration renewal audit, as well as for internal audits to verify consistent compliance. We strive to implement compliance daily through control, training, and clear accountability.' As an official IATA member, KlasJet plans to actively use key IATA resources and tools to strengthen its competencies and efficiency. These include IATA-offered employee training, the IOSA Standards System, statistics and analytical data, and IATA Safety Connect platforms for sharing safety insights with other airlines and accessing current industry best practices. According to Liveikyte, achieving IATA membership is ultimately a reflection of the KlasJet team's extraordinary commitment and daily dedication: 'Operating as both an ACMI carrier and VIP charter operator means our teams must seamlessly navigate two very different operational worlds, and this requires our people to consistently go that extra step. Our employees demonstrate great commitment to excellence, shared pursuit of our common goals, and strong focus on safety and professionalism. IATA membership acknowledges not only our operational achievements but the remarkable efforts of every team member who has elevated KlasJet to this new level of international recognition and reliability.'

KlasJet signs ACMI agreement with Air Cairo
KlasJet partners with Air Cairo to operate summer charter flights from Milan and Sharjah to Cairo, supporting Egypt's growing tourism demand. KlasJet, an exclusive private and corporate jet charter company that is part of the world's largest ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) provider, Avia Solutions Group, has signed an agreement with Air Cairo to provide chartered flights this summer. The agreement sees KlasJet operate charter flights for Air Cairo taking holidaymakers from Milan (Italy) and Sharjah (UAE) to Cairo (Egypt). The contract started on 30th May 2025 and will run until 31st October. Air Cairo was founded in 2003 and is partly owned by EgyptAir, Egypt's state-owned national airline. The carrier currently operates more than 30 aircraft, mostly A320s, and its main business focus is charter flights from Europe to Egypt's most popular holiday destinations. KlasJet became the very first ACMI provider based in an EASA-regulated country working with Air Cairo. Despite the differences in procedures and regulations, KlasJet secured a three-day turnaround from signing the agreement to the ferry flight to Cairo on May 30th. 'We have been able to get alignment on all operational and crew-related topics thanks to the flexible and proactive approach of our team – who flew out to Cairo to ensure everything progressed smoothly – and the strong commitment on both sides to clear communication and a partnership-based approach,' said Vytautas Mikuckas, Head of Wet Lease Department at KlasJet. The partnership between Air Cairo and KlasJet is helping meet an upsurge in tourism, a sector that is vital to Egypt. In the period from July to September last year, tourism revenue hit $4.8 billion, a significant uplift for Africa's second-largest economy. 'We are delighted to be partnering with KlasJet for these charters, and we know they will offer tourists to Egypt an excellent experience that will add to the overall enjoyment of their stay here,' stated Air Cairo's executive.

KlasJet Operates Summer Charter Flights to Egypt From Milan & Sharjah
KlasJet will run charter flights to Cairo for Air Cairo, linking Milan and Sharjah to Egypt's capital until the end of October. Lithuanian-based charter carrier KlasJet has signed a summer agreement with Egypt's Air Cairo to operate flights from Milan and Sharjah to Cairo, running until October 31st, 2025. The partnership aims to support rising seasonal travel demand and improve connectivity between Egypt and key regional markets in Europe and the Gulf. Air Cairo, partially owned by EgyptAir, operates charter routes to Egypt's tourist hubs and currently flies a fleet of over 30 Airbus A320s. The new collaboration allows the airline to expand its reach using aircraft and crew supplied by KlasJet under an ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) arrangement. The agreement, which was finalised just days before operations began, marks the first time Air Cairo has partnered with an ACMI provider based in an EU aviation safety jurisdiction. Flights began at the end of May with services out of Milan and Sharjah expected to continue throughout the peak summer months. The move comes as Egypt's tourism industry sees sustained growth, with revenues reaching USD 4.8 billion during last year's third quarter. The additional capacity is expected to ease travel access from Europe and the UAE, key source markets for Egypt's tourism sector. KlasJet, known for operating private and group charter flights, is part of Avia Solutions Group, a major player in global aviation services. Its fleet is based across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, with operations spanning charter, wet lease, and aviation support services.

KlasJet expands presence in Germany with Berlin and Cologne bases
KlasJet expands in Germany, basing aircraft in Cologne and Berlin to offer flexible, last-minute charter flights across Europe. KlasJet, an exclusive private and corporate jet charter company and part of Avia Solutions Group, the world's largest ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance) provider, is strengthening its position in Germany by basing its aircraft at Cologne and Berlin airports. This move will allow it to better serve the needs of corporate and private customers across Europe. Germany is Europe's largest economy, and Berlin-Tegel, Berlin-Schönefeld, and Cologne-Bonn airports are in the 50 busiest airports in Europe. This makes both cities ideal launchpads for traveling to most European destinations by regular flights, but in many cases the offering of traditional carriers does not meet the last-minute and specific needs of businesses. This is where corporate jet charter providers can make a difference. According to Edvinas Finenko, Sales Development Manager at KlasJet, the company chose Cologne because the Cologne-Bonn Airport is one of the few airports in Germany that operate 24/7. From here, KlasJet will serve the needs of the western part of Germany and other central European countries. Meanwhile, Berlin will cover the demand of the eastern part of Germany. 'We plan on cycling our aircraft through different airports, depending on the demand. Chartered flights can offer the customers the advantage of flexibility, speed, and discreetness. Additionally, from our new bases, we'll be able to provide travelers with more competitive pricing,' Edvinas Finenko says. Germany is still the largest economy in the European Union, with a GDP of 4,305 billion euros and an impressive list of major companies across such sectors as automotive, manufacturing and tech. Client visits and participation in in-person events like expos and trade shows is a major part of German business culture. 'Sometimes, clients need to bring their entire team to another location on a short notice. As our crew will always be near the airport, we can provide a competitive charter offer almost immediately. We also work closely with our partners who handle and provide exclusive VIP services. This allows us to meet any specific demands of our clients quickly,' shares Edvinas Finenko. It is also worth noting that KlasJet charter services are available for groups starting from as few as 30 passengers, making it a flexible and efficient solution for medium-sized teams. The size of the chartered flight market is projected to increase by 7.1% per year and reach $60.97 billion by 2030. At the same time, pricing is becoming increasingly competitive. For example, a 2-hour round trip from Cologne or Berlin can cost as little as €800 per passenger. 'The main benefit here is comfort. We have all the experience necessary to offer tailored services. Not only to get the clients to where they need to go, but also to inform them about all procedures at unknown airports and offer the most cost-effective solutions. On top of that, there is 24/7 support. We are always ready to solve and clarify anything that might come up', says Edvinas Finenko. KlasJet operates a fleet of 14 aircraft, offering capacities ranging from 56 to 104 seats for VIP services and 186 to 189 passengers for ACMI leasing. KlasJet is part of the Avia Solutions Group, the world's largest ACMI provider, operating a fleet of 221 aircraft. The group also offers a range of aviation services, including pilot and crew training, ground handling, and various associated aviation support.
