GetJet Group has announced a €25 million investment in a new aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility at Vilnius International Airport.
This development marks a significant expansion in the group's MRO capabilities, with the facility set to create over 100 new jobs once operational.
The site, secured through a land lease auction organised by Lithuanian Airports, grants GetJet Group the right to lease an 11,200 sq. m. plot for 40 years. The investment aligns with the group's strategy to enhance its technical independence and operational flexibility. "Expanding our MRO capabilities is one of our key strategic priorities," said Darius Viltrakis, CEO of GetJet Group.
The new facility will complement an existing 4,700 sq. m. plot already leased by the group, where an additional hangar is under construction with a €10 million investment. Inga Duglas, CEO of GetJet Airlines, highlighted the importance of the MRO infrastructure, stating, "Developing our own MRO infrastructure is a major step towards strengthening our ability to support our fleet independently."
GetJet Group's expansion is expected to create approximately 200 new aviation jobs across its operations at Vilnius and Šiauliai airports. The initiative is supported by a partnership with Vaidotas Žala, 2026 Dakar Rally winner, to attract talent to the aviation sector.
Lithuanian Airports and Invest Lithuania have praised the investment for enhancing the competitiveness of Lithuania's aviation sector. The project has been approved under Lithuania's national security requirements, ensuring compliance with national standards
