description

Small Planet Airlines is a European leisure carrier who at this time is operating in 5 markets: Lithuania, Poland, Italy and UK. We are headquartered in Lithuania, but our approach is to have separate localized strong operations in every country. We have air operator’s certificates (AOC) in Lithuania, Poland, and Italy, therefore we may do much more than any non-national airline, e.g. fly outside of the EU or employ local staff on-board.We currently operate a fleet of 8 aircraft (6 Boeing 737-300, and 2 Airbus 320) and we have chartered to more than 120 destinations in Europe, MENA and Asia regions. In 2010 we transported nearly 0.4m passengers.We offer:Full charter programs for tour operators with localized implementation (AOC, local crew, tailored on-board services);Aircraft wet lease service for airlines with tailored on-board services and possibility of custom livery;Ad hoc flights with immediate quoting and quick dispatch for anyone in need for a charter flight.Our ambition is to become a leading independent charter airline in Europe.

-Why not?We believe this is what the airline industry has missed. So

we thought, why not to have a charter airline that chal-

lenges airline business conventions in a big way? That has

a real business model to offer lowest prices for European

quality service? That truly behaves as a partner and goes

the extra mile for its passengers?

“Why?” is a bad question. “Why not?” is a great question.

A question that opens airline business for change and a

bit of fun. After all, this world has got enough of boring

airlines already.

If I may, I would like to tell you what makes Small Planet

Airlines a different charter airline company. In fact, it is

a simple and powerful question that is rarely asked in

boardrooms and aisles of airline companies:

Our OperationsSmall Planet Airlines is a European leisure carrier operat-

ing in 5 markets: Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Italy and the

UK. We are headquartered in Lithuania, but our approach

is to have separate localized strong operations in every

country.

In each country where we operate we hold an air opera-

tor’s certificate (AOC), therefore we may do much more

than any non-national airline, e.g. fly outside of the EU or

employ local staff on-board.

We offer:Full charter programs for tour operators with lo-

calized implementation (AOC, local crew, tailored

on-board services);

Aircraft wet lease service for airlines with tailored

on-board services and possibility of custom livery;

Ad hoc flights with immediate quoting and quick

dispatch for anyone in need for a charter flight.

craft. According to the international expansion program we

are undergoing now, we plan to operate 12 aircraft by 2014.

The 737 – a short-to-medium-range airplane – is based

on a key Boeing philosophy of delivering added value to

airlines with reliability, simplicity and reduced operating

and maintenance costs.

The A320 is Airbus best-selling single-aisle aircraft, which

continues to set industry standards for comfort and op-

erating economy on short- to medium-haul routes. The

A320’s advanced technology includes the extensive use

of weight-saving composites, lower maintenance costs,

along with Airbus’ fly-by-wire flight controls. The A320’s

fuselage is seven inches wider than its competitors, en-

hancing comfort for passengers.

Four ReasonsWhy Us

We don’t think you have seen a charter airline company like us. There are many big and small reasons why you should choose us (you are more than welcome to contact our sales team at [email protected]) but if we have only 4 things to say, these are:

1 2 3 4Best price for European quality

Track record you can rely on

1Best pricefor European Quality

How do we do it? It is a mix of few components:

Our fleet is optimized for lowest cost and highest reliability;

Our operations are centralized in Lithuania that is one of the most cost effective European places to run an aviation company;

We are backed by Avia Solutions Group that allows for a variety of synergies between the companies.

We work hard to keep our cost base low so we can of-fer the best price to our clients. A really great price for the service that may be shortly summarized as European quality charter flights.

2Track Record You Can Rely On

Flying is not good if one flies not on time or does not have

their airline for the next flight around.

For the remaining 1%, we are committed to provide a so-

lution within 5 hours. Facts and figures that should make

anyone sure there’ll be no trouble flying.

And we are backed by Avia Solutions Group, a group that is

here to ensure we will keep our long-term commitments.

We boast over 99% dispatchreliability track-record.

3v Everyone says “flexible” and “partner” but who really does

that? When we say it, we mean it.

We have helped our partners number of times to adapt to

market conditions by quickly adjusting capacity.

We have earned their trust by being fast, responsive and

always straightforward.

Aeroservizi Air Charter Broker, over many years of close

collaboration, has proven for itself that the management

of Small Planet Airlines has always kept its promises on

time, provided efficient service and put much attention

to passengers.

The company has always responded promptly to any

problem which may occurred in the execution of the flight

intervening quickly to replace aircraft in the event of an

unexpected failure with accurate and timely assistance

to passengers.

Passionate Customer Service

Charter airlines are not exactly famous for great passen-

ger service. After all, they sell their services on the lowest

price to package holiday companies, and travellers have

weaned off to expect anything but to be transported

from point A to point B.

It is different with Small Planet Airlines. We make sure

holidays start on board of our flights.

Staff are specially selected and fully undergone a carefully

designed training program to make sure everyone feels

cosy and there is bit of fun on the flight.

And then we walk the extra mile to make a nice surprise

such as welcome drinks and sweets, entertainment, cur-

rent press and great food in our sky shop. We even teach

our flight hosts magic tricks to entertain the kids.

It is a fresh experience to be on our flight.

Good old trip essentials – something to read, some-

thing to lay one’s head on and something to cover

with if one wants to rest. Forgotten by many but not

us.

Air Hosts

Our flight attendants have been carefully selected

and undergone a special training program, so they

know how to keep people smiling during the flight.

And for a nice touch they are dressed in style with

designer tailored uniforms.

Pleasant SurpriseWe treat our passengers like old friends, so we meet

them with joy and help them start the trip nicely.

And like good hosts we make an extra effort to of-

fer things like puzzle games and entertainment on

board, inflight magazine, easy web check-in, VIP

and welcome home packages.

Children Friendly

Standard of Comfort

Be sure the kids will enjoy the trip as much as the

adults – we will treat them with toys, colouring books

and a special drinks and food menu. We even teach

our flight hosts magic tricks to entertain the kids.

Our Culture We said this before – you have not seen a charter airline company like us. Once you look deeper you will notice a distinct culture. We are:

Proud SaversWe love to cut. But we cut in a clever way. There is no

question that our planes fly safely and our customers feel

good on board. We cut costs not our service.

In our business the devil is in the detail. Every cost item

is good for examining, every process is good for improve-

ment, and any innovation is worth consideration.

What distinguishes us is that we dream-up new things

(remember “Why Not?” question), take risks and act fast.

Calculated risks, but then we do take them. And the other

difference is that we admit once we fail. But we act fast

to solve our failures.

Brave Explorers

We work with heart, but operate with head. We believe

that anything worth doing is worth doing while thinking.

In this world there are these words “professional” and

“common sense”. No one knows what these mean exactly

but everyone knows them once they see it. The way we

work is that once we take a look at ourselves, we make

sure these are there.

We are down-to-earth, unpretentious people who enjoy

what we do and enjoy doing it together.

We enjoy it and we don’t complicate it. From time to time

we solve a problem with a bit humour and we save a few

gray hairs with a no-problem approach.
