Small Planet Airlines GmbH is a German charter airline headquartered in Berlin and a subsidiary of Small Planet Airlines from Lithuania.[1]

History

The airline was founded in 2015 and operated first charter services out of Düsseldorf Airport using its parent's licence by October 2015.[1] Along with parent airline Small Planet Airlines from Lithuania, which owns 80% of the German airline, and sister airline Small Planet Airlines (Poland) it belongs to the Small Planet Group. The headquarter in Berlin is expected to have up to 15 employees while each aircraft will be operated by 5 crews of 6; together that gives an expected overall employee count of around 75.[2]

The airline received its own German operations license on 13 May 2016 and took off to its first flight on the same day, which led from Bremen to Heraklion.[1]
