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.
