GetJet Airlines Strengthens Middle East Presence with Etihad Airways Deal

GetJet Airlines to Provide ACMI Capacity for Etihad Airways Winter 2025/26

Lithuanian ACMI and charter operator GetJet Airlines has signed a seasonal wet-lease agreement with Etihad Airways, under which two Airbus A320 family aircraft from the GetJet fleet will be based at Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi for the winter 2025/26 season.

The two aircraft will operate flights on behalf of Etihad Airways, providing additional flexibility to the airline’s regional network during the autumn and early winter travel period. Dubai-based Alexandr Celiadin, Founder of GetJet Aviation Holdings, said: “We are honoured to be chosen to support Etihad Airways this winter. Etihad is recognised worldwide for its excellence, and it is a privilege to contribute to their network. At GetJet Airlines, we strive for the highest quality in our operations and remain fully focused on adjusting to any needs our customers have.”

Starting 1 October 2025, two aircraft from GetJet Aviation Holdings will support Etihad Airways’ operations out of Abu Dhabi. One Airbus A320 will be operated by GetJet Airlines, while the second will be provided by Airhub Airlines, both part of the holding. Together, they will serve routes to Amman, Beirut, as well as selected services to Cairo and Muscat.

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, operates flights to destinations across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America. The airline has just recently been recognised as a Five-Star Global Airline by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) for 2026, a prestigious rating based entirely on passenger feedback.

GetJet Aviation Holdings, through its airlines,  operates a fleet of 16 aircraft in total, including Boeing 737-800, Airbus A320, and A321 models. The company is headquartered in Vilnius and has a commercial office in Dubai.
