GetJet Group unveils expansion drive for 2026 with rebrand, fleet growth and 200 new jobs

Share

Lithuania-based GetJet Aviation Holdings has rebranded as GetJet Group, aligning its structure and identity with an ambitious 2026 growth strategy focused on global expansion, vertical integration and operational efficiency. The GetJet name will now serve as the unifying brand across the group’s airlines, training and maintenance businesses.

The group operates through several core entities: ACMI and charter operator GetJet Airlines in Lithuania and Malta (formerly Airhub Airlines), aviation asset management and MRO provider Airhub Aviation, and Airhub Training. After expanding its footprint beyond the EU in 2025—particularly in the Middle East—GetJet Group is streamlining its structure to support accelerated growth next year.

GetJet has recently secured a new contract with Etihad Airways and continues to serve customers, including Air Senegal and Wizz Air, following successful summer operations with carriers such as Royal Air Jordanian and TAP Portugal. The 2026 summer season is already largely secured, with further customer announcements expected.

As part of its expansion, GetJet Group plans to create 200 new jobs across four countries, supporting increased flight operations and maintenance capacity. In Latvia, the group has converted GetJet Airlines Latvia from an AOC holder into a dedicated cabin crew training organisation, strengthening its training hub and targeting experienced aviation professionals affected by recent market exits.

Fleet growth is also planned, with five additional aircraft scheduled to join the fleet in Q1 and early Q2 of 2026 to meet confirmed customer demand. In parallel, GetJet Group is advancing discussions with external investors to strengthen its capital base, with a formal funding announcement expected shortly.

On the technical side, the group is scaling its MRO capabilities, operating Airhub Aviation’s hangar in Siauliai and planning a new maintenance facility at Vilnius Airport, with construction due to begin in Q4. The expansion aims to address a shortage of MRO capacity in Northern and Eastern Europe while reinforcing GetJet’s technical independence and long-term competitiveness in the ACMI market.
