Transcript of Small Planet Airlines - Why Not?
2 3
-Why not?We believe this is what the airline industry has missed. So
we thought, why not to have a charter airline that chal-
lenges airline business conventions in a big way? That has
a real business model to offer lowest prices for European
quality service? That truly behaves as a partner and goes
the extra mile for its passengers?
“Why?” is a bad question. “Why not?” is a great question.
A question that opens airline business for change and a
bit of fun. After all, this world has got enough of boring
airlines already.
If I may, I would like to tell you what makes Small Planet
Airlines a different charter airline company. In fact, it is
a simple and powerful question that is rarely asked in
boardrooms and aisles of airline companies:

Our OperationsSmall Planet Airlines is a European leisure carrier operat-
ing in 5 markets: Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Italy and the
UK. We are headquartered in Lithuania, but our approach
is to have separate localized strong operations in every
country.
In each country where we operate we hold an air opera-
tor’s certificate (AOC), therefore we may do much more
than any non-national airline, e.g. fly outside of the EU or
employ local staff on-board.
We offer:Full charter programs for tour operators with lo-
calized implementation (AOC, local crew, tailored
on-board services);
Aircraft wet lease service for airlines with tailored
on-board services and possibility of custom livery;
Ad hoc flights with immediate quoting and quick
dispatch for anyone in need for a charter flight.

The 737 – a short-to-medium-range airplane – is based

The A320 is Airbus best-selling single-aisle aircraft, which
continues to set industry standards for comfort and op-
erating economy on short- to medium-haul routes. The
A320’s advanced technology includes the extensive use
of weight-saving composites, lower maintenance costs,
along with Airbus’ fly-by-wire flight controls. The A320’s
fuselage is seven inches wider than its competitors, en-
hancing comfort for passengers.

1Best pricefor European Quality
How do we do it? It is a mix of few components:
Our fleet is optimized for lowest cost and highest reliability;
Our operations are centralized in Lithuania that is one of the most cost effective European places to run an aviation company;
We are backed by Avia Solutions Group that allows for a variety of synergies between the companies.
We work hard to keep our cost base low so we can of-fer the best price to our clients. A really great price for the service that may be shortly summarized as European quality charter flights.

2Track Record You Can Rely On
Flying is not good if one flies not on time or does not have
their airline for the next flight around.
For the remaining 1%, we are committed to provide a so-
lution within 5 hours. Facts and figures that should make
anyone sure there’ll be no trouble flying.
And we are backed by Avia Solutions Group, a group that is

3v Everyone says “flexible” and “partner” but who really does
that? When we say it, we mean it.
We have helped our partners number of times to adapt to
market conditions by quickly adjusting capacity.
We have earned their trust by being fast, responsive and
always straightforward.

unexpected failure with accurate and timely assistance

Passionate Customer Service
Charter airlines are not exactly famous for great passen-
ger service. After all, they sell their services on the lowest
price to package holiday companies, and travellers have
weaned off to expect anything but to be transported
from point A to point B.
It is different with Small Planet Airlines. We make sure
holidays start on board of our flights.
Staff are specially selected and fully undergone a carefully
designed training program to make sure everyone feels
cosy and there is bit of fun on the flight.
And then we walk the extra mile to make a nice surprise
such as welcome drinks and sweets, entertainment, cur-
rent press and great food in our sky shop. We even teach
our flight hosts magic tricks to entertain the kids.
It is a fresh experience to be on our flight.

Good old trip essentials – something to read, some-
thing to lay one’s head on and something to cover
with if one wants to rest. Forgotten by many but not
us.
Air Hosts
Our flight attendants have been carefully selected
and undergone a special training program, so they
know how to keep people smiling during the flight.
And for a nice touch they are dressed in style with
designer tailored uniforms.
Pleasant SurpriseWe treat our passengers like old friends, so we meet
them with joy and help them start the trip nicely.
And like good hosts we make an extra effort to of-
fer things like puzzle games and entertainment on
board, inflight magazine, easy web check-in, VIP
and welcome home packages.
Children Friendly
Standard of Comfort
Be sure the kids will enjoy the trip as much as the
adults – we will treat them with toys, colouring books
and a special drinks and food menu. We even teach
our flight hosts magic tricks to entertain the kids.

Our Culture We said this before – you have not seen a charter airline company like us. Once you look deeper you will notice a distinct culture. We are:
Proud SaversWe love to cut. But we cut in a clever way. There is no
question that our planes fly safely and our customers feel
good on board. We cut costs not our service.
In our business the devil is in the detail. Every cost item
is good for examining, every process is good for improve-
ment, and any innovation is worth consideration.
What distinguishes us is that we dream-up new things
(remember “Why Not?” question), take risks and act fast.
Calculated risks, but then we do take them. And the other
difference is that we admit once we fail. But we act fast
to solve our failures.

We work with heart, but operate with head. We believe
that anything worth doing is worth doing while thinking.
In this world there are these words “professional” and
“common sense”. No one knows what these mean exactly
but everyone knows them once they see it. The way we
work is that once we take a look at ourselves, we make
sure these are there.
We are down-to-earth, unpretentious people who enjoy
what we do and enjoy doing it together.
We enjoy it and we don’t complicate it. From time to time
we solve a problem with a bit humour and we save a few
gray hairs with a no-problem approach.
