Vilnius, Lithuania-based KlasJet now has a fleet of seven aircraft after adding two more VIP Boeing 737s. It already had three VIP Boeing 737-500s, a Bombardier Challenger 850, and a VIP Bombardier CRJ200.
The operator, which is a subsidiary of the Avia Solutions Group, said this âstrengthens its positionâ in the business aviation market, adding that its fleet is âdesigned to meet demands of various business customersâfrom small VIP delegations to whole sports teams with tailored services.â
âWe are aiming to attract more clients from different markets with the introduction of new airplanes to our fleet,â said CEO Justinas Bulka. âThese aircraft are entering service at the time of the high demandâthere are many queries and some scheduled flights already.â
KlasJet noted that one of the new aircraft, registration LY-FLT, is âa uniquely designed VIP Boeing 737-500 with a versatile business-class cabin, transformable between 68 and 104 business class seats,â while the other (LY-BGS) is âan economy-class Boeing 737-300 with 148 seats [which] is painted to look the same as KlasJetâs LY-KLJ.â Bulka confirmed that, after the summer season, the latter aircraftâs interior will be modified and turned into a 68-seat business class cabin.
âWe introduced aircraft with refined economy-class cabins as we see increased demand in charter flights. In autumn, these will be upgraded to 56- and 68-seat business class cabins,â added Bulka. Further, he said being part of the Avia Solutions Group helped in its ability to acquire aircraft, with the added advantage of having maintenance companies in the groupâFL Technics and Jet Maintenance Solutionsâas well as leasing subsidiary AviaAM Leasing.
